** Description changed: TEST CASE: 1. Enable multiarch (should be automatic on new oneiric systems) 2. Install an i386 package on amd64 (like flashplugin-installer:i386) 3. Mark something with a lot of dependencies for installation 4. On the confirmation screen, try to remove on of the dependencies (aptitude will now fail to perform upgrades when there's a package conflict w/out removing the i386 libs) This renders aptitude painful on a multiarch enabled system (default in oneiric). WORKAROUND: 1. If you can survive without 32 bit libraries, just comment out the single line in /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch; or 2. Use another package manager (e.g. apt-get, synaptic, or Software Center) + 3. Disable the problem resolver by adding this line in /etc/apt/apt.conf: + + Aptitude::ProblemResolver::StepLimit "0"; ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: aptitude 0.6.4-1ubuntu2 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-9.12-generic 3.0.3 - Uname: Linux 3.0.0-9-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 - Date: Tue Aug 23 00:28:38 2011 - ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=C - SHELL=/bin/bash - SourcePackage: aptitude - UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-03-06 (169 days ago)
