package: quagga severity: serious Version: 0.98.3-1 Hi,
When installing quagga with "aptitude install quagga", the amd64-kernel gets also installed. But the server is plain i386. Installing quagga with apt-get works just fine. So I asked Daniel Burrows, the aptitude maintainer, if this is a known bug in aptitude. He replied "This is a bug in quagga, which violates policy 7.4 (last paragraph) by not listing a real package first in its dependency on kernel-image. It doesn't show up in apt-get because apt-get doesn't honor Recommends." regards, Holger ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: aptitude install amd64-kernel Date: Sunday 01 May 2005 11:37 From: Holger Levsen To: linux-fai@uni-koeln.de Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, what I forgot to mention: this doesnt happen, when installing quagga with "apt-get install".... regards, Holger On Sunday 01 May 2005 10:55, Holger Levsen wrote: > Hi Daniel, hi list, > > should I file a bug against aptitude ?
