Package: gdebi-core Version: 0.9 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Here is how to reproduce this bug: * Download http://fgouget.free.fr/bugs/testdep.tar.bz2 This is a small archive that contains a set of test, empty, Debian package files along with their source. (run ./build to rebuild them) * Install the testdep-same_1.0-1_amd64.deb package. * Then run: gdebi testdep-same-arch_1.0-1_i386.deb # gdebi testdep-same-arch_1.0-1_i386.deb Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Building data structures... Done Building data structures... Done This package is uninstallable Dependency is not satisfiable: testdep-same Yet testdep-same-arch has 'testdep-same:amd64' as its sole dependency so the installed amd64 testdep-same package should satisfy it. Running dpkg confirms this: # dpkg -i testdep-same-arch_1.0-1_i386.deb Selecting previously unselected package testdep-same-arch. (Reading database ... 214863 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking testdep-same-arch (from testdep-same-arch_1.0-1_i386.deb) ... Setting up testdep-same-arch (1.0-1) ... gdebi-gtk and gdebi-kde exhibit the same problem. Finally, note that support for this type of dependency qualifier has been added in dpkg 1.16.5 (so before the Debian 7 release). For more details see: * Bug #676232: dpkg: Please add support for specific arch qualifiers (cross-dependencies) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=676232 * dpkg commit 7acf7afa581457bc2e9bd6cd1f442e6f45c1db29 Author: Thibaut Girka <[email protected]> Date: Thu Jun 28 01:11:11 2012 +0200 Add support for specific arch-qualified dependencies This allows to use dependencies with arch-qualified package names.
