Package: aptitude
Version: 0.5.0-1
I have determined that if there is nothing left to do,
then full-upgrade will require its piece of meat, else it's
game over "No more solutions available".
Adventure 1:
# aptitude full-upgrade
The following packages are BROKEN:
libgtk2.0-bin
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgtk2.0-bin: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.14.7-1) but 2.14.5-1 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
gucharmap
libgtk2.0-bin
Score is -172
*** No more solutions available ***
All there has to be is some other thing to keep full-upgrade busy, and
it won't go after the pitiful last thing in the dish.
Adventure 2:
# aptitude full-upgrade
libgtk2.0-bin: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.14.7-1) but 2.14.5-1 is installed.
p7zip-rar: Depends: p7zip-full (>= 4.61~) but 4.58~dfsg.1-1 is installed.
Remove the following packages:
p7zip-rar
Keep the following packages at their current version:
libgtk2.0-bin [2.12.11-4 (unstable, now)]
Score is 129
We agree to this solution. Then for fun we run aptitude full-upgrade
again. Whereupon GOTO adventure 1 above.
Adventure 3:
# aptitude full-upgrade
The following packages are BROKEN:
libgtk2.0-bin
The following packages will be upgraded:
libdrm-intel1 libdrm2
Keep the following packages at their current version:
libgtk2.0-bin [2.12.11-4 (unstable, now)]
Score is 60
Again we agree to this solution. Then again for fun we run aptitude
full-upgrade again. Whereupon GOTO adventure 1 above.
P.S., I admire the maintainer. Too many variables involved in this
package management business for mortals like me...

Hi,
2009-01-15 04:49 Daniel Burrows:
On Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 06:24:21AM +0800, [email protected] was heard to say:
I am little worried that maybe your reply was meant for a different
bug. All I know is that I am just the lowest of users using a command
line (never using the curses part of aptitude) and never have looked
at the source code.
No problem. I was just trying to say that this is a deliberate design
decision due to past feedback, but there are even better ways to do it
that I have planned out and that avoid the problem you ran into. The
rest was technical details for my own consumption when I take a look at
this bug again. (or for anyone else interested in working on it)
I think that this has been fixed for many years, full-upgrade is happy
to not do anything:
# aptitude full-upgrade
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
As for the merged bugs:
- #574928 about Aptitude::ProblemResolver::Discard-Null-Solution=false,
should be the default now (or equivalent, so it seems to be the same
problem as the merged bug. if there's still some issue, please reopen
(and unmerge)
- #511366 is also probably the same underlying problems because
downgrades are usually not preferred over keeping current versions,
but if there's still a problem please reopen (and unmerge)
Cheers.
