Sure, I have put it at
<http://robots.org.uk/stuff/aptitude-state-bundle.tar.bz2>, however it
may be too late as I removed those packages by hand. If this happens
again I will be more careful. :)
Unfortunately that file is broken (and with 224K far too small):
bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows.
bzip2: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)
Have you seen this problem more recently with other packages?
I suspected that maybe it was a problem with being virtual, but this one
works fine:
$ aptitude why aspell-bin
i reportbug Suggests claws-mail (>= 3.8.0)
p claws-mail Recommends aspell-en | aspell-dictionary
p aspell-br Provides aspell-dictionary
p aspell-br Suggests aspell-bin
I then suspected that maybe the package is of priority
required/standard/etc, maybe that's why the packages depended on that
one explicitly and "why" could not find a reason. But at least the
version that I pulled from snapshots, it's not:
$ wget -nv
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20080118T000000Z/pool/main/g/gcj-4.1/gcj-4.1-base_4.1.2-19_amd64.deb
...
$ dpkg --info gcj-4.1-base_4.1.2-19_amd64.deb | grep Priority
Priority: optional
However, when the package is installed automatically and nothing depends
on it, it fails to say that it's because of the priority:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=729349
So I am not sure what was going on there.
I made some tests with several other packages, esp. of these cases that
I mentioned (required like gcc-5-base, and virtual) and everything seems
to work fine now.
Maybe the underlying problem was fixed without this bug being closed.
Cheers.
