Package: git-core Version: 1:1.7.0.4-2~exp0 Severity: serious Justification: makes upgrades ugly
| $ apt-get install git/experimental | [...] | Setting up git (1:1.7.0.4-2~exp0) ... | dpkg: error processing git-core (--configure): | no package named `git-core' is installed, cannot configure | Errors were encountered while processing: | git-core This is an APT bug, IMHO [1]: apt carefully orders the packages to be unpacked and configured and then passes them to dpkg, never considering the possibility that one of the packages it is trying to dpkg --configure might have disappeared. Probable fix: 1. dpkg learns an --ignore-not-installed option. 2. apt learns to use it.
