Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.11.2-1 Severity: normal Some time ago, python-elementtree was pulled in as a recommendation of translate-toolkit. The situation is as this:
,---- | $ aptitude show python-elementtree | grep ^Auto | Automatically installed: yes | $ aptitude why python-elementtree | i translate-toolkit Recommends python (>= 2.5) | python-elementtree `---- By the time I first installed translate-toolkit, python was at 2.4, so the "Recommends" could only be fulfilled by python-elementtree. Meanwhile python got upgraded to 2.5, making python-elementtree redundant; but aptitude does not seem to detect this. I should note that a) translate-toolkit is the only installed package depending on or recommending python-elementtree; b) python was not marked as automatically installed, but changing that does not seem to have an effect. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24.5 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6. 0.7.11 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcwidget3 0.5.11-1 high-level terminal interface libr ii libept0 0.5.17 High-level library for managing De ii libgcc1 1:4.3.0-3 GCC support library ii libncursesw5 5.6+20080405-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.0.18-2 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.3.0-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libxapian15 1.0.5-1 Search engine library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages aptitude recommends: ii aptitude-doc-en [aptitude-doc 0.4.11.2-1 English manual for aptitude, a ter ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
