Sorry for the nonsense. What I was fumbling to say was that it had been many months since this last came up with nothing changed but still you were asking "Is this a bug in apt?". It seemed more like a time to act, for example by filing a bug against apt or dpkg, or at least to explicitly contrast the old bug and the new bug. No harm done; with the help of your reminder, finally something was done on the dpkg side (still pending upload --- see Bug#526774). > After it finished, I tried running apt-get dist-upgrade, and it > complains that e2fsprogs has unmet deps because it pre-depends on the > old version of e2fslibs, but the new version of e2fslibs is installed. > > Is this a bug in apt?

Not unpacking the new version of e2fslibs while the old version of e2fsprogs is installed would make an upgrade path impossible: do you unpack the new e2fsprogs first or e2fslibs? Removing e2fsprogs during upgrade is similarly a non-starter. Hope that helps, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
