tags 20471 + patch
thanks
I have prepared and tested a change that fixes this problem.
It's available at
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/git/dpkg/dpkg.bugfixes/
as the branch
bug20471
Here is the changelog entry for completeness:
* Check dependencies _on_ the package we're to upgrade. Closes: #20471.
This ensures that the new package will (when it is configured) will
satisfy the current setup. We don't mind already-broken dependencies.
* Some additional useful comments in about dependencies in processarc.c.
This branch was made from dpkg.triggers so the triggers changes should
probably be merged first.
Ian.
