This is caused by dpkg stripping the ending dash from the version number in the Replaces dependency. Online is: Replaces: libqwt5-qt4-dev (<< 6.0.0-) After installation you have in dpkg/status: Replaces: libqwt5-qt4-dev (<< 6.0.0)
APT therefore detects these two versions as different as they have different dependencies. Having the dash around doesn't make a lot of sense for libqwt-dev, but removing it in the status file isn't the nicest think which could be done by dpkg, too. Either way, not really a bug in APT… (qwt has a bugreport in debian for this, too: See http://bugs.debian.org /cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=631816) ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #631816 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=631816 ** Package changed: apt (Ubuntu) => dpkg (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873435 Title: package libqwt-dev - failed to upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/873435/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
