However, I think we have hit a bug here with new functionality. One can see in the log that the initial install went flawless. Only after that, during the second run this fails. In version 5.4 we added this second run to fix bug #867081. The second run explicitly ask apt to install packages that are in the test depends from ones own package to avoid packages with Version Provides to be from other packages. However, we appear to have missed this use case and are asking apt to install two conflicting packages. We'll fix this, soon I hope (bug submitted with this mail). Until then I recommend you to avoid the alternative. Paul
