Package: apt
Version: 0.7.20.2+lenny1
Severity: important
Yesterday I installed mailutils using
apt-get install mailutils
which asked (and then removed) bsd-mailx. However I later noticed
that logcheck depends on bsd-mailx|mailx. I was not informed about
this by apt, but looking at the logfile (/var/log/apt/term.log) I see:

I see no bug here. "mailutils" provides "mailx", so the dependency "bsd-mailx |
mailx"
is satisfied. The log shows the error message because dpkg did not know that
mailutils
was going to be installed. The system was broken for a short time, between the
removal
of bsd-mailx and the installation of mailutils. But afterwards, the system is
OK,
because there are no broken dependencies anymore.
If I am missing something, please reopen the bug.
