Package: apt Version: 0.5.22 Severity: important Tags: sid If I use 'dpkg -i' to install a package (in this case, oprofile), it will not install due to a dependency on libqt3c102-mt. I then 'apt-get install libqt3c102-mt', but the apt-get does not work and I am told to 'apt-get -f install' to to fix the problem. So, I do: I run 'apt-get -f install'. On an i386 machine running Debian unstable, this works fine, and all the needed packages are installed and oprofile installed. On an ia64 machine, however, all that happens is that oprofile is removed. And if I try to apt-get install libqt3c102-mt again, I'm told it has unmet dependencies and will not be installed. So, this could be a problem with libqt3c102-mt on ia64; but, the same process works on i386 so I thought I'd start with apt-get as the possible problem.
