Package: libept1.4.12
Version: 1.0.6~exp1

Hi

---
libept (1.0.6~exp1) experimental; urgency=low

  * build against libapt in experimental
---

This has only been effective for alpha, amd64 binaries:

$ dpkg-deb -f libept1.4.12_1.0.6~exp1_amd64.deb depends
libapt-pkg4.12 (>= 0.8.16~exp12), libc6 (>= 2.4), libgcc1 (>=
1:4.1.1), libstdc++6 (>= 4.4.0), libxapian22, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4)
$ dpkg-deb -f libept1.4.12_1.0.6~exp1_i386.deb depends
libapt-pkg4.10, libc6 (>= 2.4), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libstdc++6 (>=
4.4.0), libxapian22, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4)

The package builds fine against libapt-pkg4.12 on my i386 system.

The buildd logs show that each is using the aptitude-based resolver,
except:

- alpha: apt-based resolver
- amd64: no log; binary upload?
- hurd-i386: internal resolver

Looks like the aptitude-based resolver has opted to install a lower
version of libapt-pkg-dev than the apt-based resolver.  With the
options passed to aptitude on these buildds[1] the resolver will
strongly avoid installing packages from experimental.

I have confirmed that aptitude will happily install
libapt-pkg-dev/experimental in a similar situation if asked.

I suspect this could be fixed by bumping libept's [Build-]Depends on
libapt-pkg-dev to (>= 0.8.16~)


Regards

Version: 1.0.6

This was fixed with the upload to unstable, when libapt-pkg4.12 was
already there.
