Hello ... I reported this bug 14 days ago, but don't even got an answer.
Do you think there is a solution to this problem, are you too busy to work on it or something such. Or do you simply think this is a stupid bug report and are ignoring it ? If you are busy, it would have been nice to tell us, since we are holding up a major change in the whole pool of ocaml packages because of this. Also, if you have no time to fix this, or even to consider it, i may look into this myself (altough a few pointers to where to start would be fine), not that i have much time, but i think it is important. Note that apt knows how to handle this correctly, and when installing (as opposed to upgrading) a package, this does not occur. So i guess dpkg needs only to check when upgrading a package that a needed virtual depends was in the old package and not in the new one. It should not be too difficult, unless dpkg is severly misdesigned, which i think it is not. BTW, is this related to the versionned virtual dependency bug ? Friendly, Sven Luther
