<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> was heard to say:
Well I don't see what will change if lm-sensors recommends
lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-386 as default, except some confusion to the
users. They will install it, and nothing will work.
Currently, here is what happens:
| [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# apt-get install lm-sensors
| Reading package lists... Done
| Building dependency tree... Done
| The following extra packages will be installed:
| libsensors3 ucf
| Suggested packages:
| lm-sensors-mod-2.9.2 kernel-image-2.6 lm-sensors-source
i2c-source | sensord read-edid
This is a bug in apt-get, which does not install recommendations and
apparently treats them like Suggests. Here is what happens in a properly
behaving package manager:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aptitude -s install lm-sensors
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading extended state information Initializing package states...
Done
Reading task descriptions... Done Building tag database... Done
The following NEW packages will be automatically installed:
i2c-2.4.27-2-386 kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386 lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-386
The following NEW packages will be installed:
i2c-2.4.27-2-386 kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386 lm-sensors
lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-386 0 packages upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to
remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 11.4MB/11.9MB of archives. After unpacking 32.2MB will be
used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]
...except that since this dependency is pure virtual, which package
gets picked to fulfill it is unpredictable; it might just as well have
installed lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-k7 instead.
I still don't see why installing lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-386 is better than
a random package among lm-sensors-2.4* here.
Any more comment about this bug, or could I close it?
Bye,
Aurelien
