Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.6-1
Severity: important
Hello,
I am trying to replace libgd2-noxpm with libgd2-xpm (because newer
version of a package is build with xpm, older without).
The problem is that aptitude passes dpkg only packge name, not arch
qualifier when removing the package. As config files for the foreign
arch remain dpkg still knows about it and would not remove the native
package without qualifier.
dpkg: error: --purge needs a valid package name but 'libgd2-noxpm' is not:
ambiguous package name 'libgd2-noxpm' with more than one installed instance
Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
