Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11-3+b1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'm about to update a package (libc6-i686). After selecting the newer
version of the package (2.7-9) in the GUI the package is "broken" and the
resolver attempts to satisfy broken dependencies.
The first suggestion is to remove libc6-i686. Fine, that would work.
The second suggestion is to upgrade:
libc6 [2.7-6 testing, now -> 2.7-9ubuntu2 hardy]
libc6-dev [2.7-6 testing, now -> 2.7-9ubuntu2 hardy]
libc6-i686 [2.7-6 testing, now -> 2.7-9ubuntu2 hardy]
and the third suggestion is to upgrade
libc6 [2.7-6 testing, now -> 2.7-9 unstable]
libc6-dev [2.7-6 testing, now -> 2.7-9 unstable]
What I think should happen is that the 3rd suggestion should come
before the
2nd suggestion because Debian unstable has a higher priority (50) than Ubuntu
hardy (25).
Even stranger, when I pretend to want to install libc6-i686=2.7-9 from
the
command line instead of the GUI, the resolver makes the "better" 3rd
suggestion first thing:
#aptitude install -s libc6-i686=2.7-9
The following packages are BROKEN:
libc6-i686
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 51 not upgraded.
Need to get 1261kB of archives. After unpacking 86.0kB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-i686: PreDepends: libc6 (= 2.7-9) but 2.7-6 is installed.
Resolving dependencies...
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Upgrade the following packages:
libc6 [2.7-6 (testing, now) -> 2.7-9 (unstable)]
libc6-dev [2.7-6 (testing, now) -> 2.7-9 (unstable)]
Score is -10
Thanks!
