Package: ia32-apt-get Version: 22 Severity: normal
When I try to install acroread, ia32-apt-get fails with a version dependency error: # ia32-apt-get -t unstable-i386 acroread Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: acroread: Depends: acroread-debian-files (>= 0.0.38) but 0.0.38~22 is to be installed E: Broken packages So ia32-apt-get (or really I guess, ia32-dpkg) thinks that version 0.0.38~22 doesn't meet the requirement of >= 0.0.38. But that is the correct version of acroread-debian-files for i386. # ia32-apt-cache policy acroread{,-debian-files} acroread: Installed: (none) Candidate: 9.1.2-0.0 Version table: 9.1.3-0.0~22 0 50 http://www.debian-multimedia.org unstable-i386/main Packages 9.1.2-0.0 0 990 http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing-amd64/main Packages 9.1.2-0.0~22 0 60 http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing-i386/main Packages acroread-debian-files: Installed: (none) Candidate: 0.0.36 Version table: 0.0.38 0 500 http://www.debian-multimedia.org unstable-amd64/main Packages 0.0.38~22 0 50 http://www.debian-multimedia.org unstable-i386/main Packages 0.0.36 0 990 http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing-amd64/main Packages 0.0.36~22 0 60 http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing-i386/main Packages Thanks, Andrew. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (400, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ia32-apt-get depends on: ii debconf 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii ia32-libs-tools 22 Tools for converting i386 debs for Versions of packages ia32-apt-get recommends: ii fakeroot 1.12.4 Gives a fake root environment ia32-apt-get suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * ia32-apt-get/allowed-packages: All ia32-apt-get/undo-old-sources-list: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
