--- Begin Message ---Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.14.1-2 Severity: normal It is the time of the arival of gnome 2.6 into sid. I had marked libgnomeprint2.2-0 as "on hold" when it arrived because its upgrade would have caused unwanted removals on this box. Now there is a new gthumb, and aptitude keeps marking it as "to be removed" without giving any reason. I ask "install", and it marks it as I expect as to be upgraded. Then "g" results in this package and a couple of other ones being marked for removal. apt-get install tells me: The following packages have unmet dependencies: gthumb: Depends: libgnomeprint2.2-0 (>= 2.6.1-6) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libgnomeprintui2.2-0 (>= 2.6.0) but it is not going to be installed ... which explains the problem. Now I can put gthumb on-hold, and aptitude gets happy. But marking those 2 on-hold packages as to be upgraded still does not help. apt-get tells me it isn't going to be installed, and if I ask for it explicitely, it say's it's missing libcupsys2-gnutls10. Asking for "apt-get install gthumb libgnomeprint2.2-0 libcupsys2-gnutls10" at last seems to accept my request. Now on aptitude side: this libcupsys2-gnutls10 package is marked as to be installed automatically. Nevertheless, it still insists on not wanting to upgrade gthumb. I have to upgrade out of aptitude. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.4.23-k6+preempt+acl Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=french Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3 0.5.25 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.3.3-9 GCC support library ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-1.2-5c102 1.2.5-1 Type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.3-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 -- no debconf information -- Yann Dirson <[email protected]> | Why make M$-Bill richer & richer ?

--- Begin Message ---Hello, aptitude's resolver changed a lot in the intervening 11+ years, specially in the years after the bug report. I have not witnessed recently any such stubborn behaviour without clear hints/explanations of why the package cannot be installed, or is set to be removed, so I think that it is safe to close this bug report now, sorry that it was not handled in a more timely manner. (In any case, it would be almost impossible to replicate now with the moving target that was that system, and try to map that to current code). Cheers. -- Manuel A.
