Hi,
I attempted to update all of my packages today. When updating scipy-py23, I was asked to specify a virtual dependency for fftw. I specified the first option (fftw-shlibs); however, installation was unable to proceed because I already have fftw-mpi-shlibs and fftw-mpi installed. My question is: Is the dependency meant to be on the specific package (fftw-shlibs) or on the virtual package ( fftw-shlibs)? Note that the virtual package appears to have a space at the beginning of the name. If the dependency is on the actual package, I will need to force-remove my fftw-mpi packages and install the regular versions, but I'm wondering whether this is necessary. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks, Charles
It does look to be a dependency on the specific package rather than the virtual package, since fftw-mpi-shlibs is a perfectly good provider of " fftw-shlibs". I'm not sure how a .info file handles a Depend on a virtual package with a space in its name.

It looks like the problem is here in the .info file:
Provides: (%type_raw[-mpi] = -mpi) fftw
this maps to
fftw
when the -mpi variant isn't selected, but
fftw
(note the space) when it is.
