Package: apt Version: 1.4 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Control: affects -1 + parl-desktop-world parl-desktop-eu
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed that parl-desktop-world could not be tested with --install-recommends enabled. This can be easily reproduced in a minimal chroot (where installing Recommends is disabled by default) with # apt-get install --install-recommends parl-desktop-world Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... 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. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: parl-desktop-world : Depends: myspell-cs but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. The relevant bits of the dependency chain seem to be: Package: parl-desktop-world Depends: icedove-l10n-cs, myspell-cs Package: icedove-l10n-cs Depends: thunderbird-l10n-cs Package: thunderbird-l10n-cs Recommends: hunspell-cs | myspell-cs-cz Package: hunspell-cs Conflicts: myspell-cs Package: myspell-cs Replaces: myspell-cs-cz Provides: myspell-cs-cz Conflicts: myspell-cs-cz This command would succeed: # apt-get install parl-desktop-world and this sequence would work as well: # apt-get install myspell-cs # apt-get install --install-recommends parl-desktop-world I must admit that the dependencies in parl-desktop-world should be updated, but nevertheless apt should be able to install it in its current state. piuparts logs if you are interested: https://piuparts.debian.org/stretch-rcmd/fail/parl-desktop-eu_1.9.9.log https://piuparts.debian.org/stretch-rcmd/fail/parl-desktop-world_1.9.9.log Andreas
