[Bug 831768] Re: aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled
The newly uploaded 0.6.6-1ubuntu1.2 version works perfectly for me on a reasonably complicated Precise server with a mixture of i386 and amd64 packages. Upon starting aptitude, it immediately started complaining about broken packages and all sorts of fixes that it wanted to apply to fix all sorts of problems, so I was skeptical at first. However, this turned out to be because of some pending actions that aptitude still remembered from the last time that I ran aptitude (months ago, just to test whether the problem with multiarch had been fixed without me noticing). Telling aptitude to forget all pending actions got me a perfectly clean system according to aptitude. Thanks for all the efforts, I love aptitude very much, although I've gotten used to using apt-get as well now :-) Aptitude is much easier to use for selectively upgrading packages, though, which is sometimes necessary on my servers to minimize downtime caused by package upgrades. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/831768 Title: aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptitude/+bug/831768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This has been sitting in the queue for ages.

[Bug 831768] Re: aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled
According to comments here, the 0.6.8.1 release is considered fine for inclusion in quantal by the release team and works for everyone that has tested it. So after some quick smoke tests of my own, I've uploaded it to quantal. According to comment 104, SRUs are not necessarily requested by this bug. I will close the SRU tasks for precise and oneiric.

I think (maybe) the problem is finally fixed with v0.6.8.1 As you know, ppa-purge used aptitude. I have updated the system with the Xorg Edgers PPA repository. I installed aptitude v0.6.8.1 in Kubuntu 12.04 Precise. Then ppa-purge has been able to resolve dependencies. It uninstalled google earth and its :i386 dependencies but I have yet some i386 packages installed and the system is not broken.

An update for Oneiric should also include the fixes for other serious multi-arch issues. At least Bug #845136 and Bug #904486. Without these multi-arch on that release is still effectively broken; IMO those bugs should be nominated also for Oneiric. The specific patches for those issues may be fairly entangled, it may be easier to update Oneiric to at least 0.6.6 instead (currently at 0.6.4).

Thanks, Daniel. Hopefully I'll have some time to build and test against 0.6.8, soon. In the meantime, with the patched 0.6.6, I dealt with a bunch of dependency problems today, and the patch continued to work fine. The resolver came up a lot, and never wanted to remove my foreign-arch packages.

[Bug 831768] Re: aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled
Hi, Daniel! Sorry for late answer, I was not able to reach my workstation to test better new patch. What I did today: I disabled the hack mentioned in bug description, run aptitude and it showed Suggest 228 removals 27 keeps. That is because after last update I did (don't remember exactly if I used apt-get or aptitude) aptitude was reinstalled from official repo so patched version was replaced. Then I used dpkg -i to install patched version. After installation I've run aptitude again and it suggested only 4 removals and 29 keeps. I decided to let it to proceed with update even being noticed that it wants to remove skype 4.0.0.7. Pressed SHIFT+1 to apply solution and warning disappeared. In general I would say that update looked as normal not taking in account skype and ia32-libs which were removed. The main thing I've noticed that it didn't want to remove qt-gui stuff which is necessary to get skype to work. After update went successfully I downloaded new skype package from skype.com i386 version and installed it. Everything went OK! So here's is *definitely improvement* for me and disabling the option in /etc/apt/apt.conf did the trick for me! Thank you very much for your work!

[Bug 831768] Re: aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled
Hi Daniel, thanks for the patch! It looks good to me so far. I patched and built the current version from Quantal, 0.6.6-1ubuntu2. In the fullscreen text interface, I played around, marking needed packages for deletion. The resolver only showed the actual dependencies as problems, and didn't flag any foreign-arch packages. Without the patch, I certainly hit the bug: whenever a conflict comes up, it wants to remove all the i386 packages from my amd64 system. I'll try to keep testing it in normal use for a while.

[Bug 831768] Re: aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled
Maybe I misunderstand the meaning of the importance bit. I thought it was importance to the functioning of this package, so that availability of other package managers is irrelevant to its setting. While changing the bug's importance doesn't change anyone's priorities in fixing aptitude, it does accurately reflect the status of this bug for the usage of aptitude in current ubuntu: for those using multiarch, it makes aptitude just about useless, if not worse (when silly enough to listen to its' recomendations of what to change/delete). I personally decided to remove it until this is fixed, despite having used it in preference to apt-get etc. for several years as I find it easier to get a good idea of dependencies (and especially conflicts) for packages. But right now starting aptitude means waiting for it to go through a mass of conflict resolution to reach a faulty end-solution., and then having to look through the false positive conflicts/brokenness information, and discarding those (remove xx pagackes - and then most of the rest of the system thanks to dependencies? no thanks) before being able to do anything. So high does seem on the low side, and critical is more accurate. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/831768 Title: aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptitude/+bug/831768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I know this isn't a referendum, I just found these two cents in my pocket. Shahar wrote: It's resolver is not so hot but to say that it does not work is a bit misleading! For what little it's worth, it looks that way to me, too. I can only see that aptitude 'works' on a level it had not since multiarch began. I have used aptitude for the great majority of its existence, about ten years. Comparing the present Ubuntu package to those experiences: - I don't recall a time when the resolver worked much better for me, than 0.6.6 does. I don't want to paper over the weaknesses of the resolver, at all. I can't see that, with the recent multiarch patch, they've regressed a lot from the time before multiarch. I don't have test cases to offer, and anyone who does may trump my personal experience. - Aptitude under multiarch was very broken for me; not really usable, until the recent 0.6.6. - I now use it as I did in the past. It seems restored to the previous level of functionality, for me, and I keep thinking this is great, I have aptitude back! So perhaps someone will have a good wording to describe the situation accurately. Acknowledge whatever clear regressions still exist, since pre-multiarch. And convey that aptitude, in 12.04, works much, much more than it did in the last few releases. If I had not been following Precise all along, that is the information I would want to know. I don't have a comprehensive picture of everyone's experience, of course. This is just my attempt to contribute to it, and I have no great complaint with the situation as it is.

However, I'm not closing this bug at this point, because I'm not convinced it entirely fixes it (and upstream doesn't appear to truly claim that it does). Correct -- as previously mentioned, the problem resolver is not intelligent in it's handling of m-a situations. I was very particular in closing bugs with the changelog. The directions in the bug description still produce a certain degree of chaos; Daniel, do you think you could try those out? I am sure that they do. I can not say when I will next have sufficient time to look at this. I suspect this can be fixed with a relatively minor change, any C++ hackers can investigate the source files src/generic/problemresolver/* src/generic/apt/aptitude_resolver* for potential solutions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/831768 Title: aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptitude/+bug/831768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Well, the resolver is a mess. That's regardless of multiarch. That's a bunch of separate issues.

[Bug 831768] Re: aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled
While the situation has definitely improved as you can now install multiarch packages from aptitude, the depenceny resolver is still a mess. Attached is a log with a few packages having unresolved dependencies because they're from a work-in-progress archive. The full resolver gives many internal errors and ends with removing over 200 packages, aptitude safe-upgrade doesn't do anything but simply aborts as it can't resolve the dependencies. apt-get upgrade simply holds 8 packages back and upgrades the rest. dist-upgrade holds 7 back and wants to remove a few which is still reasonable. ** Attachment added: aptitudelog https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bug/831768/+attachment/2975185/+files/aptitudelog -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/831768 Title: aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptitude/+bug/831768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
