Package: pbuilder Version: 0.189 Severity: normal At the moment aptitude in sid is uninstallable. This means that pbuilder cannot update, and therefore cannot build. Furthermore, changing to the "classic" (or any other) dependency handler makes no difference: putting
PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD=/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-[anything] in ~/.pbuilderrc does not change the result: The following packages have unmet dependencies: aptitude: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.9-6-4.7 Depends: libept0 (>= 0.5.26+b1) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages So pbuilder simply doesn't work until aptitude becomes installable again. Since aptitude is important, not essential, and does on occasion become uninstallable, it'd be nice to have an easy way to work around this rare-but-annoying situation. This is related to, but not the same as bug #448334.
