Hello, when trying to work around http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620088 I downgraded nfs-common to the version in testing, which actually worked, even though nfs-kernel-server has a versioned dependency on nfs-common (see below), is this a bug in dpkg or did I miss something regarding the versioned dependency handling?
I actually only noticed since "aptitude forbid-version" did bail out telling me that there is a dependency problem. Cheers Wolfgang PS: the shell output: x61s:~# apt-cache policy nfs-common nfs-kernel-server nfs-common: Installed: 1:1.2.3-1 Candidate: 1:1.2.3-1 Version table: *** 1:1.2.3-1 0 500 http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ sid/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status nfs-kernel-server: Installed: 1:1.2.3-1 Candidate: 1:1.2.3-1 Version table: *** 1:1.2.3-1 0 500 http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ sid/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status x61s:~# apt-cache show nfs-kernel-server | grep ^Depends Depends: libblkid1 (>= 2.16), libc6 (>= 2.3), libcomerr2 (>= 1.01), libgssapi-krb5-2 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2), libgssglue1, libk5crypto3 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2), libkrb5-3 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2), libnfsidmap2, libtirpc1, libwrap0 (>= 7.6-4~), nfs-common (= 1:1.2.3-1), ucf, lsb-base (>= 1.3-9ubuntu3) x61s:~# dpkg -i nfs-common_1.2.2-5_i386.deb dpkg: warning: downgrading nfs-common from 1:1.2.3-1 to 1:1.2.2-5.
