Package: apt Version: 0.7.11 Followup-For: Bug #470115 Hello, maybe I have a simpler example of the same symptom.
sun-java6-* has made it only partially through the build daemons, so it seems. It is not installable in unstable: $ LANG=C sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [...] The following packages have unmet dependencies: sun-java6-jdk: Depends: sun-java6-jre (= 6-04-2) but 6-00-2 is to be installed E: Broken packages The same just works nicely with -t testing set. aptitude actually suggests this as a second solution. After the seamless installation of the version from testing, dist-upgrade fails to realise, that "old installation" is better than "no installation" # LANG=C apt-get -u dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre The following packages have been kept back: openoffice.org-l10n-de 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 1 not upgraded. After this operation, 125MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? No, I don't, please.
