I see. YEs, it respect the spec. But as it is the this option (APT::Solver::aspcud::Preferences) is actually useless because aspcud will never receive this information, correct ? This command line comes from this bug #823906 . Maybe you should warn the user that (s)he should use APT::Solver::Preferences instead ? This make me think that maybe it would be worth adding the solver to be called to the edsp file as well. Something like : Solver: aspcud Preferences: ... This will make the edsp fully contained. thanks for your quick reply. p
