Package: apt Version: 0.1.5 I have 'equivs' installed to provide mail-transport-agent (I've got a locally built qmail that I'd like to keep using). The previous version of apt was happy with this, but the current one claims that mailx and inn have unsatisfied dependencies:
phoenix# apt-get -s upgrade Updating package status cache...done Checking system integrity...dependency error You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. Sorry, but the following packages are broken - this means they have unmet dependencies: mailx: Depends:smail Depends:mail-transport-agent inn: Depends:mail-transport-agent The problem appears to be isolated to apt; dpkg doesn't complain. phoenix# dpkg --status equivs Package: equivs Status: install ok installed Installed-Size: 36 Maintainer: Paul Seelig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 1.0.5-3 Provides: mail-transport-agent [...] phoenix# dpkg --status mailx Package: mailx Status: install ok installed Priority: important Section: mail Installed-Size: 146 Maintainer: Loic Prylli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 1:8.1.1-10 Provides: mail-reader Depends: libc6, smail | mail-transport-agent [...] phoenix# dpkg --status inn Package: inn Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: news Installed-Size: 1340 Maintainer: Miquel van Smoorenburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 1.7.2-4 Replaces: inewsinn Provides: news-transport-system Depends: libc6, cron (>= 3.0pl1-42), mail-transport-agent, time, inewsinn (>= 1.7.2-1), grep (>= 2.0-13) Recommends: trn | news-reader Suggests: innfeed, pgp Conflicts: inewsinn (<= 1.4unoff4-1), news-transport-system [...] -- System Information Debian Release: 2.0 Kernel Version: Linux phoenix 2.0.34 #1 Sat Jul 4 23:12:35 EDT 1998 i486 unknown Versions of the packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.0.7t-1 The GNU C library version 2 (run-time files) ii libc6 2.0.7t-1 The GNU C library version 2 (run-time files) ii libstdc++2.8 2.90.29-0.6 The GNU stdc++ library (egcs version) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
