--- Begin Message ---Package: tzdata-java Version: 2016f-0+deb8u1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, when I try to install `tzdata-java` (or any package that depends on it) on my "out of the box" Jessie 8.6 stable system, it fails because of an "impossible" dependeny. This is because `tzdata` depends on tzdata (= 2016f-0+deb8u1), which is outdated. I would assume that this is a bug and that it should actually be depending on tzdata (>= 2016f-0+deb8u1) ? How to reproduce: `apt-get install tzdata-java` Workaround: - `apt-get download tzdata-java` - `dpkg -i --ignore-depends=tzdata-java,tzdata tzdata-java_2016f-0+deb8u1_all.deb` - edit `/var/lib/dpkg/status` and change `Depends` line for package `tzdata-java` to: `tzdata (>= 2016f-0+deb8u1)` (instead of: `tzdata (= 2016f-0+deb8u1)`. - afterwards packages that the depend on `tzdata-java` install fine Thanks for your time and effort. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/24 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages tzdata-java depends on: ii tzdata 2016h-0+deb8u1 tzdata-java recommends no packages. tzdata-java suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
