Package: aptitude Version: 0.8.3-1 Severity: wishlist Control: block -1 by #837395 Tags: patch Hi, Bug #837395 requests support for these fields in apt which dpkg has for a while now – see there for details on why. It would be nice if we could get support for this into stretch so that packages can eventually use it. [...] btw: If this patch isn't applied aptitude treats Build-Conflicts-Arch packages as Build-Depends which means it is going to install those packages… not really what we want it to do (apt unpatched + libapt support would do the same btw). Thanks for consideration & Best regards
I am not taking this patch from an adversary (enemy?) of the Apt Inner Circle lightly, but well, given the dates, let's consider it a Christmas/Winter-Holidays present (or punishment)... ;) Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <manuel.montez...@gmail.com>
