Package: apt
Version: 0.7.25.3
Severity: normal
I am trying to install the build dependencies for Thunar. Now, Thunar
build-depends on libfam-dev, which in turn depends on libfam0. However,
I have libgamin0 installed, which replaces, conflicts with, and provides
libfam0. So, I will want to install libgamin-dev, which replaces,
conflicts with, and provides libfam-dev. I think apt-get should be able
to figure this out and install libgamin-dev automatically (or possibly
after prompting).
Actual behavior:
$ apt-get build-dep thunar
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libfam-dev: Depends: libfam0 (= 2.7.0-16.1)
E: Build-dependencies for thunar could not be satisfied.
It would be nice to at least know *why* libfam0 cannot be installed.
Now, this is what happens after I run "apt-get install libgamin-dev"
manually:
$ apt-get build-dep thunar
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libgamin-dev
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 8 not upgraded.
After this operation, 168kB disk space will be freed.

Removing libgamin-dev ...
I don't get at all why apt-get thinks I want libgamin-dev removed.
Especially since at this point it doesn't even try to install libfam-dev
in its place. In other words, apt-get is now actually *removing* a
build dependency of Thunar.
