Package: debian-policy The description of Pre-Depends in section 7.2 says that half-configured packages can satisfy pre-dependencies. However, chapter 6 does not mention that package state. Instead, it talks about "Failed-Config" (and "Failed Config"). Reading dpkg(1) suggests that half-configured is correct and failed-config wrong, but I can't tell for sure whether the both are really the same.
