Daniel, thank you for keeping an eye on this. I apologize for the late response. Here is my test-case.
1) add "deb http://oss.leggewie.org/LP441059 ./" to sources.list 2) sudo aptitude update;sudo install a a-extensions This should install version 1.1 of those "packages" (they are simply empty packages with the dependencies set as described in the original report). 3) sudo aptitude Step 3 should now offer you to remove the a package when doing nothing would be fine. Aptitude::ProblemResolver::Discard-Null-Solution is only a second-best solution. While it defaults to keeping the status quo, it still bugs the admin unnecessarily every time. My brain is not compatible with the scribbling from Mr Jidanni, I usually have no clue what his babblings are about and this time it's no exception, so I can't comment on whatever he was writing in the Debian BTS. ** Changed in: aptitude (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441059 Title: incorrect problem resolution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bug/441059/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
