Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.1-1experimental1 Severity: normal Running aptitude with sid+experimental (although the dependancy problem is the same under just sid).
Emacs21-common 21.4a-3.1 hit mirror before emacs21 and emacs21-bin-common. Aptitude decides, instead of holding the packages at their current state, to try to upgrade, which breaks emacs21's dependancies, which causes it to remove all three packages. If attempting to upgrade a package would require that package's removal, there's no point in trying to upgrade it :) > --\ Packages being removed because they are no longer used > idA emacs21-common -35.5MB 21.4a-3 21.4a-3.1 > --\ Packages being deleted due to unsatisfied dependencies > id emacs21 -6042kB 21.4a-3 21.4a-3 > idA emacs21-bin-common -342kB 21.4a-3 21.4a-3 > --\ Packages being held back > i A libgdl-1-0 0.6.0-3 0.6.0-3+b1ih > pan 0.14.2.91- 0.94-1 -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers experimental APT policy: (1000, 'experimental'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-4 0.6.43.3exp1 Advanced front-end for dpkg hi libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.0-1+b1 GCC support library ii libncursesw5 5.5-1.1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.0.16-3 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.1.0-1+b1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aptitude recommends: ii aptitude-doc-en [ap 0.4.1-1experimental1 English manual for aptitude, a ter -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
