Public bug reported: Binary package hint: aptitude
I run: aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade # all goes well, everything is caught up wget http://ichi2.net/anki/download/files/anki_0.9.9.8.5-1_all.deb dpkg -i anki*.deb aptitude install And aptitude claims the dependencies are not installable. For example, "Depends: python-simplejson (>= 1.7.3) but it is not installable". And "aptitude show python-simplejson" returns: Package: python-simplejson New: yes State: not installed Version: 1.9.1-1 # distinctly >= 1.7.3 And fails, of course. If I then install the dependencies via "aptitude install packagename", it works. Full output of "aptitude install": Reading extended state information Initializing package states...
