Control: severity -1 normal (I thought I had replied already, sry for being so late)
Thanks Vincent & Andrey for the status files! They helped a lot in identifying the problem here, which needs quiet a bit of a loop and a bit of bad luck (=order of the Depends line is important) to get triggered. Even though apt bailing out is never nice, I am setting the severity down to "normal" as the recovery in this case is pretty simple (re-run apt-get) and the loops needed are usually a bug by itself, so its unlikely to see them in the wild (in stable) and for unstable I have cooked a patch which should raise the loop-complexity bar even higher. (It took us ~3 years to hit this bar, lets see how long it takes this time) Indeed, Rene Engelhard chopped the loop we failed here at down to non-existence as the loop was in fact incorrect so lets hope the reordered code for APT will keep working for a while. :) Best regards David Kalnischkies -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
