Package: apt Version: 0.9.6 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
It seems that there is something wrong in the Provides field in the EDSP encoding passed to external solvers. In this case the problem is related to the encoding for the package perl-base. The package currently installed on my machine is perl-base:amd64 version 5.14.2-11 the Provides listed for this package is just libscalar-list-utils-perl however the provides in the stanza for perl-base as returned by apt-get show is Provides: libscalar-list-utils-perl, libxsloader-perl, perl5-base, perlapi-5.14.2 In particular the provides perlapi-5.14.2 . This missing information induces external solvers to fail...
