Just as a perhaps slightly simpler workaround for anyone who hits this before a fixed aptitude is also in sid:
People using pdebuild can use: pdebuild --pbuildersatisfydepends /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-classic --use-pdebuild-internal Which will then use apt as the resolver and ignore aptitude (more details on that are in #794669) For people using cowbuilder/cowpoke that won't work though since it doesn't accept the --pbuildersatisfydepends option, but you can instead just set in your pbuilderrc: PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD="/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-classic" Which should work for anyone. This has the added advantage of letting aptitude be removed from the chroot, which would otherwise block any package with a build-dependency on libxapian22v5 (ie. anything which uses doxygen) from installing its build-deps and being able to build - which just downgrading cwidget won't necessarily help you get past - unless aptitude remains "smart enough" to remove itself, which was the solution it chose a couple of days ago! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
