package apt
unmerge 64141
unmerge 445311
merge 64141 445311
fixed 64141 0.7.22
unmerge 92569
fixed 92569 0.7.26~exp8
thanks
The bug described in the first two mentioned bugs described by that a package
which is on hold (by dpkg) causes installation/removal of other packages is
fixed since 0.7.22 as already closed which can be verified with attached
testcase. (this is different to the other bugreports where APT sets the
package on hold while work is in progress)
The third bug just asks for making the order of install requests irrelevant.
This bug was tracked as #196021 and is fixed since 0.7.26~exp8.
So both fixes are be available in squeeze.
Best regards
David Kalnischkies
