Package: piuparts Version: 0.45 Severity: normal For the partial distributions (experimental, backports) dependency solution is more complicated because one probably needs to mix the packages from the base distribution (sid, squeeze) with the addon distribution (experimental, squeeze-backports), sometimes it's neccessary to get packages from the base instead of the addon ... and apt-get does a bad job in that respect. IIRC pbuilder and sbuild have a better way to solve dependencies in this case.
These partial distros are meant for cherry-picking, not newer-is-better as apt does it. E.g. there is a new perl in experimental, only very few package were built against this, the majority of packages in experimental is built against the perl in sid and cannot be installed with the perl in experimental. Just using perl/sid would be fine ... Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
