I'm working on this. Until now I got apturl to known if a package is virtual or not and display a different error message if it is (you can test this on revision 48 of my branch). I'll now see if I can get it to choose a real package.
Fixing this requires directly accessing the internals of python-apt, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem (debimg does the same for its dependency resolver). ** Changed in: apturl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Assignee: (unassigned) => Siegfried Gevatter (RainCT) (rainct) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- Apturl do not install virtual packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
