How to reproduse: create test1_1.deb with package 'test1', version '1' creaet test1_2.deb with package 'test1', version '2' create test2.deb with package 'test2' that depends on test1 (>= 2)
dpkg -i test1_2.deb dpkg -i test2.deb dpkg -i test1_1.deb The last commands completes without errors, and breaks dependency for installed and configured package test2. Package test2 is still "install ok installed". This happens with dpkg 1.10.10 on a sid system. Do I misunderstand something, or this is a serious bug in dpkg?
