Package: octave3.0 Version: 3.0.0-1 Severity: serious User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: origin-ubuntu
Hi, The octave3.0 package in unstable has the following provides line: Provides: octave, octave2.9 I don't see any possible way that this can be correct. Either octave3.0 is 100% compatible with octave2.9, and the source/binary package name should *not* have been changed for the new upstream version; or it is not 100% compatible, and should not have any such Provides since it may cause octave2.9 reverse-dependencies to install octave3.0 instead of the real octave2.9 and then fail to work. In practice, most of the reverse-depends of octave2.9 have versioned dependencies on octave2.9, so most of these will refuse to accept octave3.0 as a replacement. And octave3.0 also *conflicts* with octave2.9, so they're not exactly co-installable either. Something looks very wrong here. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
