That behavior is intentional. What piuparts does is to install the package with "dpkg -i", and then use "apt-get -f install" to get all dependencies. In other words, that is normal behavior, and has always worked for me when I have tried it. Admittedly, the log file could make it clearer. I don't want to duplicate apt's dependency resolution in piuparts for two reasons. It is a lot of work to get right, and it wouldn't test what actually happens in real life. The "dpkg -i" + "apt-get -f install" trick saves me from that. Can you provide the entire piuparts log so that I can look at it to see if there is an actual problem? Private mail would be fine, if it is big enough that putting it in the BTS is wasteful. -- Cameras don't shoot people. People shoot people.
