Package: apt Version: 0.3.16 Severity: normal Hi,
this problem occurred, when I dist-upgraded today. apt-get wanted to remove wmaker and wmaker-plain. The situation is as follows: The old wmaker depended on wmaker-plain and wmaker-plain depended on that specific version of wmaker. Now wmaker-plain was merged into wmaker and wmaker conflicts with wmaker-plain. Therefore, for the new version of wmaker, apt-get removes wmaker-plain, which in turn causes removing of wmaker itself. Thus, after dist-upgrade no wmaker at all. The problem can be solved by apt-get install wmaker, which removes wmaker-plain and updates wmaker. Although it looks like a bug in the dependencies (circular dependencies in the previous version of wmaker/-plain?), apt may try to correct the situation with the new version (which works as demonstrated by apt-get install). You may downgrade the severity of this report to wishlist, if appropriate. Thanks, Ulf
