IIRC from comments made by Ian a couple of years ago, failure to check dependencies when downgrading is a very long-standing bug in dpkg. It was filed as a bug in March 2000, although I think it's existed pretty much since the original C implementation. > Do I misunderstand something, or this is a serious bug in dpkg? It's a bug, although I don't think it's a serious one (in the severity sense). -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
