Thanks, Alexander. The virtual packages disappeared and I was able to update everything successfully.

Thanks,
Charles

I figured out how to fix this. The maintainer (Jeff W.) has given me permission to update the package, so I've done it. A selfupdate will bring you the new version once it hits the various servers--the revision did change so an update-all should take care of things. Make sure that the <space>fftw and <space>fftw-shlibs virtual packages are gone.

Thanks.  I'll hold off on updating until we get some more details.

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.



(maintainer cc'ed)

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.
