Package: mongodb Version: 1:2.0.0-2~bpo60+1 Severity: important The backports metapackage doesn't depend on mongodb-server & mongodb-client packages with the same version.
It's a fair assumption that a metapackage for a database will pull in all its components of the same version. If someone were to desire otherwise, they could force apt-get to do so. As a result, as a mongodb newby, I puzzled for some days over a few, mysteriously strange behaviors, until I learned how to query the database for its version: $ mongo > db.serverStatus().version Only then did I notice the results from: $ dpkg-query -l 'mongodb*' Steps to reproduce: $ sudo apt-get install mongodb-server mongodb-dev or maybe just: $ sudo apt-get install mongodb-server and then: $ sudo apt-get -t squeeze-backports install mongodb -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mongodb depends on: ii mongodb-dev 1:1.4.4-3 An object/document-oriented databa ii mongodb-server 1:1.4.4-3 An object/document-oriented databa mongodb recommends no packages. mongodb suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
