Package: tethereal
Version: 0.10.10-2sarge4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
tethereal package 0.10.10-2sarge4 contains a dependency on
ethereal-common (= 0.10.10-2sarge4). Currently installed is
ethereal-common 0.10.10-2sarge5. All of the other dependencies
are specified in terms of ">=", not "=", so I suspect a typo.
Sample install attempt:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/atm# apt-get install tethereal
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... 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.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
tethereal: Depends: ethereal-common (= 0.10.10-2sarge4) but
0.10.10-2sarge5 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Current Sarge version is 0.10.10-2sarge9; which depends on
ethereal-common 0.10.10-2sarge9.
Those versions fix several security issues, so you should update.
