Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.1-1
Severity: normal
I've got very strange seach results when looking for installed packages
with broken recommends.
bash$ aptitude search ~i~Brecommends |grep ruby
i ruby1.8-dev - Header files for compiling extension modul
But ruby1.8-dev has all it recommends installed. I guess the reason of
confusion is sarge update line in sources list with different version og
ruby in it: ruby1.8-dev=1.8.2-7sarge2 has uninstalled recommends, and
ruby1.8-dev=1.8.4-1 is installed, so ruby1.8-dev is listed as a result of
~i~Brecommends search pattern. However, this is very unexpected result
from the user point of view. Removing sarge updates from the sources.list
removes ruby1.8-dev from the search result.
bash$ apt-cache depends ruby1.8-dev
ruby1.8-dev
Depends: libruby1.8
Recommends: ruby1.8
bash$ apt-cache policy ruby1.8 ruby1.8-dev
