Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.9-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
I tried to install the fbdev xorg video driver and got this error from
aptitude while resolving dependencies.
The situation is as follows: there are two versions of -video-fbdev,
0.4.1-1 (testing) and 0.4.1-4. The former provides -video-driver-1.0, the
latter provides -video-driver-2. My version of xorg conflicts with
-video-driver-1.0.
What happened: after I selected -video-fbdev, the testing version was
selected. This selection conflicts with my xorg, so I went to the
resolver. I selected the solution of installing the unstable version, and
tried to use that solution. At this moment, I got the error "unexpected
empty solution" (or something, it was in Czech). The correct driver
package was selected, but xorg still was marked as broken. Even when I've
undone everything, xorg was marked as broken although the selection did
not contain any conflicts.
When I selected the unstable version in the beginning, everything was OK.
Regards
Jiri Palecek
