Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.0.1-1 Severity: minor Hi,
# aptitude build-dep git-core Reading package lists... Done [...] Reading extended state information... Done Initializing package states... Done Unable to satisfy the build-depends: Build-Depends: libz-dev. Unable to satisfy the build-depends: Build-Depends: libz-dev. No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. [...] # echo $? 0 aptitude seems to dislike build-dependencies on virtual packages without alternatives (libz-dev here). Is this a git-core bug or an aptitude bug? apt, on the other hand, deals fine with this dependency, whether zlib1g-dev is already installed or not. Jonathan P.S. Any ideas for dealing with the long list of bugs? I tried to look for duplicate reports of this and found none, but it would be nice if the existing reports were categorized as 'command-line utility', 'Gtk frontend' 'curses frontend', 'conflict resolution', 'installing binary packages', 'installing source packages' or something like that. If this sounds like a good idea, let me know, and I’ll (slowly) work on it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
