Package: aptitude Version: 0.8.13-5 Severity: normal When I want to remove the libldap2-dev transitional package from the command line, I get:
cventin:~> aptitude remove -s libldap2-dev The following packages will be REMOVED: libldap-dev{u} libldap2-dev 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 27 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 1655 kB will be freed. The following packages have unmet dependencies: libaprutil1-dev : Depends: libldap2-dev but it is not going to be installed The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) libldap-dev [2.5.13+dfsg-3 (now, testing, unstable)] It appears that aptitude wants to remove libldap-dev too soon, as this will break the dependencies: libaprutil1-dev depends on libldap2-dev, which is provided by libldap-dev. The other proposed solutions are not OK as they want to install or remove other packages. And from the TUI, if I type '-' on libldap2-dev, I get: libldap2-dev (remove, 2.5.13+dfsg-3) will be removed. ▒ ▒ The following packages depend on libldap2-dev (remove, 2.5.13+dfsg-3) and will ▒ be broken by its removal: ▒ ▒ * libaprutil1-dev (held/unchanged, 1.6.3-1) depends on libldap2-dev (provided▒ by libldap-dev 2.5.13+dfsg-3) ▒ This is incorrect too, and the message is even buggy, as it correctly says that libldap2-dev is provided by libldap-dev, but I'm not asking to remove libldap-dev. So this doesn't make sense. -- Package-specific info: Terminal: xterm-256color $DISPLAY is set. which aptitude: /usr/bin/aptitude aptitude version information: aptitude 0.8.13 Compiler: g++ 12.1.0 Compiled against: apt version 6.0.0 NCurses version 6.3 libsigc++ version: 2.10.8 Gtk+ support disabled.
