Package: apt Version: 0.7.21~exp2 Severity: important Hi,
when trying to install libboost1.37-dev-armel-cross from the emdebian cross repository, apt fails to resolve the *-armel-dcv1 dependencies from various packages: # apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: libboost-math1.37.0-armel-cross: Depends: libc6-armel-dcv1 libboost-serialization1.37.0-armel-cross: Depends: libc6-armel-dcv1 libboost1.37-dev-armel-cross: Depends: libc6-armel-dcv1 libicu38-armel-cross: Depends: libc6-armel-dcv1 E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. This virtual package is provided both by the installed version of libc6-armel-cross and the one provided in the cross repo: Package: libc6-armel-cross Status: install ok installed Priority: extra Section: devel Maintainer: GNU Libc Maintainers <debian-gl...@lists.debian.org> Architecture: all Source: libc6 Version: 2.9-4 Provides: libc6-armel-dcv1, glibc-2.9-1-armel-cross Depends: libgcc1-armel-cross Conflicts: libterm-readline-gnu-perl-armel-cross (<< 1.15-2), tzdata-etch-armel-cross, nscd-armel-cross (<< 2.9) Description: GNU C Library: Shared libraries (for cross-compiling) This package was generated by dpkg-cross for cross compiling. . Contains the standard libraries that are used by nearly all programs on the system. This package includes shared versions of the standard C library and the standard math library, as well as many others. Manually removing the dependency from the Packages file makes the error go away and the package install successfully (i.e. dpkg can resolve the dependency, hence the heightened priority). Reproducing is only possible with APT from experimental, as the cross repo contains a lot of new packages, which pushes "regular" apt above the package name limit.
