Thank you for your bug report, there seem to be two fascinating bugs here at play, both in the dumping code which rendered this hard to reproduce and then in the solver which incorrectly causes elpa-pip- requirements Recommends: emacs to be installed despite being previously unsatisfied.
This is due to a a confusion with Enhances, i.e. we have both an Recommends: emacs as well as an Enhances: emacs and now the solver gets mad. ** Summary changed: - Failure: The 3.0 solver produced a worse result + Failure: The 3.0 solver produced a worse result: emacs is installed due to Enhances/Recommends confusion ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Julian Andres Klode (juliank) ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2101800 Title: Failure: The 3.0 solver produced a worse result: emacs is installed due to Enhances/Recommends confusion Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: This pops up every time I perform an apt call.
