Package: apt Version: 0.3.4 Apt is taking whitespace following the version number to be significant when comparing versions. An example is in python-gnome 1.0.1-1.1, which has a dependancy of Depends: python-gtk (>= 0.5.12-1.1 )
Apt treats the trailing whitespace within the parenthesis as significant, which is contrary to the Debian Packaging manual, section 8.1: Whitespace may appear at any point in the version specification, and must appear where it's necessary to disambiguate; it is not otherwise significant. -- System Information Debian Release: potato Kernel Version: Linux turd 2.2.4 #1 Wed Mar 24 01:30:32 EST 1999 i586 unknown Versions of the packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.1.1-0.2 GNU C Library: shared libraries ii libstdc++2.9 2.91.61-1 The GNU stdc++ library (egcs version)
