Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.15.9-2 Severity: normal openoffice.org has a dependency on openoffice.org-l10n-en (>> 1.1.2+1.1.3) | openoffice.org-l10n-1.1.3 I have installed openoffice.org-l10n-sv, which has Provides: openoffice.org-l10n-1.1.3, openoffice.org1.1-l10n-sv and thus fullfils the dependency. Everything is fine with apt-get: # apt-get -s dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Calculating Upgrade... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Whereas aptitude is confused by the dependency, and wants me to install openoffice.org-l10n-en: # aptitude -s dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done Reading task descriptions... Done The following NEW packages will be automatically installed: liblua50 openoffice.org-l10n-en The following NEW packages will be installed: liblua50 liblualib50 openoffice.org-l10n-en 0 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.11.1-1 Followup-For: Bug #325160 I encounter this same problem with current aptitude. For instance, totem and totem-plugins both depend on totem-gstreamer | totem-xine (with some versions attached to each). I have totem and totem-xine installed, but whenever I upgrade totem, aptitude wants to install totem-gstreamer.
Have you observed this problem recently? I haven't noticed it recently when installing similar packages (phonon backends come to mind), and I don't think that there are recent reports complaining about that either. Between 2008-2010 the resolver system changed a great deal, so I think that the underlying problem might have been fixed during that time, without this report being closed; or perhaps libapt or an interaction between aptiude<->libapt being fixed. If you still experience it, please confirm if it can be reproduced with the packages above (with the provision of changing names such as openoffice->libreoffice). Cheers. -- Manuel A.
