Package: apt Version: 0.7.23.1 Hi,
Given the following circumstances, apt fails to find a solution: 8<--------------------------------->8 Package: foo Depends: bar Package: bar Provides: foo Conflicts: foo Replaces: foo # apt-get install foo 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: foo: Depends: bar but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages 8<--------------------------------->8 The obvious solution here is to simply install bar, and not foo.
