Package: apt Version: 0.9.12.1 Severity: normal Hi,
To reproduce: $ sudo debootstrap sid debian-sid-20131028 http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20131028T000000Z/ [...] $ echo deb-src http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20131028T000000Z/ sid main | sudo tee -a debian-sid-20131028/etc/apt/sources.list [...] $ sudo chroot debian-sid-20131028 apt-get update [...] $ sudo chroot debian-sid-20131028 apt-cache showsrc gcc-4.6 | grep Build-Conflicts Build-Conflicts: binutils-gold $ sudo chroot debian-sid-20131028 apt-cache show binutils | grep Provides Provides: binutils-gold, elf-binutils $ sudo chroot debian-sid-20131028 apt-get build-dep --simulate gcc-4.6 | grep binutils autoconf autoconf2.64 autogen autotools-dev binutils bison build-essential Inst binutils (2.23.90.20131017-1 Debian:unstable [amd64]) Conf binutils (2.23.90.20131017-1 Debian:unstable [amd64]) $ echo $? 0 The same works for src:gcc-4.7 and src:gcc-4.8. The problem is, that gcc-4.6 Build-Conflicts with binutils-gold. The binutils package provides binutils-gold. With my understanding of policy sections 3.6 but especially 7.5 on virtual packages, I think that apt is not supposed to allow the compilation of a source package (here: gcc-4.6) together with a binary package (here: binutils) providing a package that the source package conflicts with (here: binutils-gold). And indeed after `apt-get source`-ing the code and `apt-get build-dep`-ing the dependencies, dpkg-checkbuilddeps prints: dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Build conflicts: binutils-gold cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
