Hi Jiří,

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.9-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
I tried to install the fbdev xorg video driver and got this error from
aptitude while resolving dependencies.
The situation is as follows: there are two versions of -video-fbdev,
0.4.1-1 (testing) and 0.4.1-4. The former provides -video-driver-1.0,
the latter provides -video-driver-2. My version of xorg conflicts with
-video-driver-1.0.
What happened: after I selected -video-fbdev, the testing version was
selected. This selection conflicts with my xorg, so I went to the
resolver. I selected the solution of installing the unstable version,
and tried to use that solution. At this moment, I got the error
"unexpected empty solution" (or something, it was in Czech). The
correct driver package was selected, but xorg still was marked as
broken. Even when I've undone everything, xorg was marked as broken
although the selection did not contain any conflicts.
When I selected the unstable version in the beginning, everything was OK.
Have you seen this report lately?
I haven't seen any secondings or duplicates in the last few years, and
haven't experience it myself as far as I can remember.
Given that this happened before a time when the resolver was heavily
reworked, I guess that the problem was fixed, or at least heavily
morphed into something else now.
Cheers.
