--- Begin Message ---Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.0.1-1 Severity: normal On my system, I have mawk and original-awk installed, whereas gawk is not. The only package that depends on any awk whatsoever is base-files, which has a pre-dependency. This pre-dependency is satisfied by both mawk and original-awk. However, aptitude seems to want to install gawk to satisfy this dependency and insists on trying to do so every time I mark packages for upgrade. Obviously, since the sole dependency (including recommends and suggests) is satisfied, there is no reason for aptitude to attempt to install gawk. This is irksome because I really do not want gawk installed. I think aptitude should not try to install gawk if the dependency is already satisfied (and will remain so). -- Package-specific info: aptitude 0.6.0.1 compiled at Oct 25 2009 23:00:16 Compiler: g++ 4.3.4 Compiled against: apt version 4.8.1 NCurses version 5.7 libsigc++ version: 2.0.18 Ept support enabled.
