(run ./build to rebuild them) * Install the testdep-allsarch_1.0-1_all.deb package. * Then run the following command and install the package: qapt-deb-installer testdep-allsarch-default_1.0-1_i386.deb The command will appear to succeed but in fact it leaves the testdep- allsarch-default broken: $ dpkg -l testdep-allsarch-default Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-====================-===============-===============-============================================= iU testdep-allsarch-def 1.0-1 i386 Package with testdep-allsarch dependency Now it's normal for the package to fail to install: it has a dependency that cannot be resolved. But there are still two bugs here: * The most important one is that qapt-deb-installer seems to fail to detect and report unexpected installation errors. This is the bug that really needs to be fixed. Note that in the same situation gdebi-gtk and software-center detect and report the issue and also suggest a command to run to fix it. * The second, less important bug, is that qapt-deb-installer thought the package could be installed in the first place.
