Package: apt-cache Version: apt 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.27 apt-cache depends --recurse does not recurse with required versions for child dependencies.
*Example*: apt-cache depends --recurse dse-full=4.8.1-1 returns the correct first level dependencies. However, the recursion algorithm recurses on each one of these dependencies WITHOUT their required version (4.8.1-1) in this case. You can see clearly via the output of apt-cache show that dse-full=4.8.1-1 requires specific versions of these packages. This bug results in receiving incorrect dependencies for specific-versioned packages. *apt-cache show results* $ apt-cache show dse-full=4.8.1-1 Package: dse-full Priority: extra Section: misc Installed-Size: 68 Maintainer: DataStax <[email protected]> Architecture: all Source: dse Version: 4.8.1-1 Depends: dse (= 4.8.1-1), dse-hive (= 4.8.1-1), dse-pig (= 4.8.1-1), dse-demos (= 4.8.1-1), dse-libsolr (= 4.8.1-1), dse-libtomcat (= 4.8.1-1), dse-libsqoop (= 4.8.1-1), dse-liblog4j (= 4.8.1-1), dse-libmahout (= 4.8.1-1), dse-libspark (= 4.8.1-1) *Output of apt-cache depends --recurse*$ apt-cache depends --recurse dse-full=4.8.1-1 dse-full Depends: dse Depends: dse-hive Depends: dse-pig Depends: dse-demos Depends: dse-libsolr Depends: dse-libtomcat Depends: dse-libsqoop Depends: dse-liblog4j Depends: dse-libmahout Depends: dse-libspark dse Depends: adduser Depends: dse-libhadoop-native Depends: dse-libhadoop2-client-native Depends: dse-libcassandra Depends: lsb-base Depends: procps procps:i386 Depends: debianutils debianutils:i386 Conflicts: <apache-cassandra> Conflicts: <apache-cassandra:i386> Conflicts: <apache-cassandra1> Conflicts: <apache-cassandra1:i386> Conflicts: <cassandra> Conflicts: <cassandra:i386> .... .... .... *Now here is the output of apt-cache depends dse=4.8.1-1* Notice how the output is different than when it appears in the recursion algorithm?
