I believe you are in error here and the filing is correct. The dependency requires a python3-pyvkfft with a suitable version to be configured before python3-pyvkfft-cuda can be configured. However, Depends (unlike Pre-Depends) does not impose any restrictions on unpacks. Therefore python3-pyvkfft-cuda may still be unpacked (but not configured) with an old version of python3-pyvkfft still being unpacked. In this situation, you may see an error from dpkg. This problem may even occur in a practical setting during upgrades. The package manager may choose to unpack python3-pyvkfft-cuda before unpacking the upgrade of python3-pyvkfft. > Should I file an issue in https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/dumat/-/issues ? I don't think this is necessary given the above. Helmut
