Public bug reported:
Having the following scenario:
Package: a
Status: install ok installed
Version: 2
Depends: b (= 2)
Architecture: all
Package: b
Status: install ok installed
Version: 2
Architecture: all
Package: a
Version: 1
Depends: b (= 1)
Architecture: all
If I mark_install a, version 1 then it will simply mark package a, version 2
for removal.
I would expect an message like "... you have held broken packages" since
package b, version 1 is missing from the repository.
Tested on:
--------------------------
Ubuntu 12.04 amd64
python-apt 0.8.3ubuntu7.1
Thanks
