The current dependencies get apt confused, making for a rough transition: because qemu-kvm accepts ipxe 1.0.0+git-20120202.f6840ba-2, apt didn't figure out that it should switch from ipxe to ipxe-qemu, and instead just wanted to upgrade ipxe from 1.0.0+git-2.149b50-1 to 1.0.0+git-20120202.f6840ba-2. It noticed the conflict, but didn't automatically come up with the right solution. Some poking at the semi-manual resolver in aptitude resolved the problem, but fixing the version in the dependency would make for a much smoother transition. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
