Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.8.2-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Here is how to reproduce this bug: * Download http://fgouget.free.fr/bugs/testdep.tar.bz2 This is a small archive that contains a set of test, empty, Debian package files along with their source. (run ./build to rebuild them) * Install the testdep-allowed_1.0-1_amd64.deb package. * Then run: # dpkg -i /home/weaver/testdep-vallowed-any_1.0-1_i386.deb Selecting previously unselected package testdep-vallowed-any. (Reading database ... 177820 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking testdep-vallowed-any (from .../testdep-vallowed-any_1.0-1_i386.deb) ... Setting up testdep-vallowed-any (1.0-1) ... # echo $? 0 So the testdep-vallowed-any installs fine and dpkg finds no missing dependency. Yet aptitude complains that the dependency is broken and wants to remove the testdep-vallowed-any package: testdep-vallowed-any:i386 depends upon testdep-virtual-allowed:any:i386 The following actions will resolve this dependency: -> Remove testdep-vallowed-any:i386 [1.0-1 (now)] Since dpkg and aptitude disagree one of them must be wrong. Now testdep-vallowed-any's only dependency is 'testdep-virtual-allowed:any' which is a virtual package provided by testdep-allowed which was installed just before So I'm siding with dpkg on this one. Hence this report. -- Package-specific info: Terminal: xterm $DISPLAY is set. which aptitude: /usr/bin/aptitude aptitude version information: aptitude 0.6.8.2 compiled at Nov 7 2012 07:08:03 Compiler: g++ 4.7.2 Compiled against: apt version 4.12.0 NCurses version 5.9 libsigc++ version: 2.2.10 Ept support enabled.
