Well, from the user point of view, a downgrade is symmetrical to an upgrade. So, if the aptitude dependency resolver is able to count upgrades, I thought that this was as easy to count downgrades (which would be sufficient to solve the problem). So, I'm very surprised that this isn't the case. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) _______________________________________________ Aptitude-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/aptitude-devel
