This dependency should be libnunit2.2.7-1-cil in unstable distribution, as
mixing testing libnunit-cil 2.2.6-1 and unstable nunit-console 2.2.7-1 is
not the way to go.
This is actually correct. The package in testing is called libnunit-cil
- NOT libnunit2.2.6-cil. The nunit=2.2.7 source package generates a
libnunit2.2.6-cil package because 2.2.7 and 2.2.6 are API compatible.
See the CLI policy for details. How is this causing you problems?
Hmm. I probably interpreted my error situation wrongly. I had pinned all
nunit packages back to 2.2. versions due to the inability to run 2.6.
versions on Linux.
Then I removed the pinning in /etc/apt/preferences, and was not able to
upgrade due to conflicts with a file from libnunit2.2.6-cil. I did
erroniously assume it was a reference to the wrong package number which
caused the problem.
Now I removed all nunit packages, and was able to re-install without
problems versions 2.2.7-1, which I now can report working correctly.
Riddle resolved. Thanks for your help!
However, I find it still very odd that the nunit source package version
2.2.7-1 produces a binary package called libnunit2.2.6-cil, because it
is binary compatible with the 2.2.6 version in testing, which by the way
is called libnunit-cil and not libnunit2.2.6-cil ??
Wouldn't it better that the numbering fits such that nunit 2.2.7-1
generates a binary package named libnunit2.2.7-cil,
I think this numbering business is a major source of confusion ...
