AFAIKT, this old annoying bug is doomed to merge new ones until
some good person fixes it. :)
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.14.16.6
Severity: normal
I have a .deb file with missing dependencies and expect `dpkg' to tell
me about it.
Unfortunately, being run with `--no-act' (`--dry-run', `--simulate')
option, dpkg doesn't notice missing dependencies:
$ sudo dpkg --no-act -i xfuse-gtk_0.7.0-11_i386.deb && echo OK || echo FAIL
Selecting previously deselected package xfuse-gtk.
(Reading database ... 113183 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking xfuse-gtk (from xfuse-gtk_0.7.0-11_i386.deb) ...
OK
Is this a bug?
Without --simulate option dpkg works as expected:
$ sudo dpkg -i xfuse-gtk_0.7.0-11_i386.deb && echo OK || echo FAIL
Selecting previously deselected package xfuse-gtk.
(Reading database ... 113183 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking xfuse-gtk (from xfuse-gtk_0.7.0-11_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of xfuse-gtk:
xfuse-gtk depends on xfuse-common (= 0.7.0-11); however:
Package xfuse-common is not installed.
xfuse-gtk depends on lib765-1; however:

Kind regards.
