Package: cupt Version: 0.5.0 Severity: normal Hi, cupt failed to install a program in the following situation:
emacs depends on emacs23 | emacs23-gtk | emacs23-nox emacs23-gtk Conflicts with emacs23 and emacs23-nox. I had emacs23 installed. I then attempted to install emacs23-gtk. This should remove emacs23, and then install emacs23-gtk, recognizing that the emacs dependency will only be unresolved for a second or two. Cupt seems able to resolve this but unable to process it: skynet:/home/dmr# cupt install emacs23-gtk Building the package cache... [done] Initializing package resolver and worker...
