Package: aptitude Version: 0.5.0-1 I have determined that if there is nothing left to do, then full-upgrade will require its piece of meat, else it's game over "No more solutions available".
Adventure 1: # aptitude full-upgrade The following packages are BROKEN: libgtk2.0-bin 1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. The following packages have unmet dependencies: libgtk2.0-bin: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.14.7-1) but 2.14.5-1 is installed. The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Remove the following packages: gucharmap libgtk2.0-bin Score is -172 *** No more solutions available *** All there has to be is some other thing to keep full-upgrade busy, and it won't go after the pitiful last thing in the dish. Adventure 2: # aptitude full-upgrade libgtk2.0-bin: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.14.7-1) but 2.14.5-1 is installed. p7zip-rar: Depends: p7zip-full (>= 4.61~) but 4.58~dfsg.1-1 is installed. Remove the following packages: p7zip-rar Keep the following packages at their current version: libgtk2.0-bin [2.12.11-4 (unstable, now)] Score is 129 We agree to this solution. Then for fun we run aptitude full-upgrade again. Whereupon GOTO adventure 1 above. Adventure 3: # aptitude full-upgrade The following packages are BROKEN: libgtk2.0-bin The following packages will be upgraded: libdrm-intel1 libdrm2 Keep the following packages at their current version: libgtk2.0-bin [2.12.11-4 (unstable, now)] Score is 60 Again we agree to this solution. Then again for fun we run aptitude full-upgrade again. Whereupon GOTO adventure 1 above. P.S., I admire the maintainer. Too many variables involved in this package management business for mortals like me... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
