--- Begin Message ---Package: apt-cross Version: 0.11.0 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable The conflict resolution functions added in 0.11.0 are borked and under certain circumstances (e.g. installing the cross-dependencies for e2fsprogs or packages that depend on libgtk2.0-0) apt-cross can descend into an infinite recursive loop and/or try to install the entire Debian archive as cross-dependencies. The conflict resolution code does work in certain (limited) situations in 0.11.0 but the breakage prevents apt-cross from finding a usable cross-dependency solution in situations where 0.10.0 would have been successful. I do have a fix, which I am currently testing. I am filing this bug for three reasons: 1. The usual purpose - create a record of the problem to help others 2. 0.10.0 in testing works up to the point where conflict resolution would otherwise be needed. 0.11.0 breaks in situations where 0.10.0 would work. 0.11.0 is therefore a regression from previous behaviour and testing should be protected from the regression. 3. To ensure that 0.12.0 is correctly viewed as an RC release so that the version of apt-cross in Lenny can have conflict resolution support. Learning the lesson from this incident, wider testing is now under way to ensure that the fix currently in SVN is correct. -- Package-specific info: -- apt-cache policy -- Package files: 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status release a=now 500 http://www.emdebian.org unstable/main Packages release v=0.1,o=Debian,a=unstable,l=Emdebian-tools-unstable,c=main origin www.emdebian.org 500 ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org unstable/main Packages release o=Debian,a=unstable,l=Debian,c=main origin ftp.fr.debian.org Pinned packages: -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- deb ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ unstable main deb-src ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ unstable main #deb http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/packages unstable main #deb-src http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/packages unstable main #deb ftp://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian/ experimental main #deb-src ftp://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian/ experimental main #deb http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/packages experimental main #deb-src http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/packages experimental main -- /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emdebian.sources.list -- # The Emdebian toolchain repository deb http://www.emdebian.org/debian/ unstable main deb-src http://www.emdebian.org/debian/ unstable main -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apt-cross depends on: ii apt 0.7.14+b1 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii dpkg-cross 2.3.0 tools for cross compiling Debian p ii dpkg-dev 1.14.20 Debian package development tools ii libcache-apt-perl 0.11.0 object oriented apt cache perl bin ii libterm-progressbar-perl 2.09-5 Perl module to print a progress ba ii libwww-perl 5.813-1 WWW client/server library for Perl ii perl 5.10.0-11.1 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sudo 1.6.9p17-1 Provide limited super user privile apt-cross recommends no packages. apt-cross suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
