Package: manpages
Version: 4.13-3~bpo9+1
Severity: normal
Hi,
upgrading manpages and manpages-dev to stretch-bpo doesn't work on
my stretch machine:
----------------8<----------------
# apt-get install manpages/stretch-backports manpages-dev/stretch-backports
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Selected version '4.13-3~bpo9+1' (Debian Backports:stretch-backports [all]) for
'manpages'
Selected version '4.13-3~bpo9+1' (Debian Backports:stretch-backports [all]) for
'manpages-dev'
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:
manpages : Breaks: manpages-dev (< 4.13-3) but 4.13-3~bpo9+1 is to be installed
Breaks: manpages-dev:i386 (< 4.13-3)
manpages-dev : Breaks: manpages (< 4.13-3) but 4.13-3~bpo9+1 is to be installed
Breaks: manpages:i386 (< 4.13-3)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
---------------->8----------------
I'm not familiar with the dpkg/apt internals and how exactly versions are
compared to each other, but it seems to me like
"Breaks: [...] manpages (<< 4.13-3)"
gets rated higher than the package's version in stretch-backports
(4.13-3~bpo9+1).
So I guess, at least for the bpo-build, Breaks needs to be somewhat relaxed.
Cheers
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

a fixed version -- as you've seen. :-)
I'm closing this bug now.
