Package: gdebi-core Version: 0.9 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Here is how to reproduce this bug: * Download http://fgouget.free.fr/bugs/testdep.tar.bz2 This is a small archive that contains a set of test, empty, Debian package files along with their source. (run ./build to rebuild them) * Assuming you have a 64-bit system, install the testdep-same_1.0-1_amd64.deb package. (if you have a 32-bit system exchange amd64 and i386 everywhere) * Then run: gdebi-gtk testdep-same_1.0-1_i386.deb The gdebi-gtk GUI will come up and then disappear and you will get the following backtrace on the terminal: $ gdebi-gtk testdep-same_1.0-1_i386.deb Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/gdebi-gtk", line 82, in <module> app = GDebiGtk(datadir=data,options=options,file=afile) File "/usr/share/gdebi/GDebi/GDebiGtk.py", line 151, in __init__ self.open(file) File "/usr/share/gdebi/GDebi/GDebiGtk.py", line 353, in open self.compareDebWithCache() File "/usr/share/gdebi/GDebi/GDebiCommon.py", line 109, in compareDebWithCache pkg = self._cache[self._deb.pkgname] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 204, in __getitem__ raise KeyError('The cache has no package named %r' % key) KeyError: "The cache has no package named 'testdep-same:i386'" gdebi-kde shows a very similar backtrace: $ gdebi-kde ~/testdep-same_1.0-1_i386.deb Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/gdebi-kde", line 101, in <module> gdebi = GDebiKDE(datadir=data,options=options,file=afile) File "/usr/share/gdebi/GDebi/GDebiKDE.py", line 162, in __init__ self.open(file) File "/usr/share/gdebi/GDebi/GDebiKDE.py", line 237, in open self.compareDebWithCache() File "/usr/share/gdebi/GDebi/GDebiCommon.py", line 100, in compareDebWithCache pkg = self._cache[self._deb.pkgname] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 185, in __getitem__ raise KeyError('The cache has no package named %r' % key) KeyError: "The cache has no package named 'testdep-same:i386'" This is why I'm reporting this bug against gdebi-core rather than gdebi and gdebi-kde separately. Also note that, still on a 64-bit system, this bug does not happen if one installs the i386 package first and then run gdebi-gtk on the amd64 package. Finally one can also reproduce this bug with the other types of multiarch packages. For instance from the set of test packages: * Install testdep-foreign_1.0-1_amd64.deb Then run gdebi-gtk testdep-foreign_1.0-1_i386.deb This should replace the amd64 package with the i386 one. * Install testdep-allowed_1.0-1_amd64.deb Then run gdebi-gtk testdep-allowed_1.0-1_i386.deb This should replace the amd64 package with the i386 one. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gdebi-core depends on: ii file 1:5.14-2 ii python 2.7.5-2 ii python-apt 0.8.9 ii python-debian 0.1.21+nmu2 gdebi-core recommends no packages.
