Package: dselect Version: 1.15.5.6 Severity: important git-all Depends: git (>> 1:1.7.0.5), git (<< 1:1.7.0.5-.)
As far as dselect is concerned, this condition is satsified by *no* version of git, and git-all and git can't be installed simultaneously. Unfortunately, dpkg --compare-versions thinks differently (it believes that 1:1.7.0.5-1 fits between the two versions). The incompatibility is making dselect practically unusable. ---- I hate aptitude due to its dreadful user interface, and a while back I was willing and able to maintain dselect if it could be disentangled from its Siamese-twin relationship with dpkg. However, SOME people, who REFUSED to maintain dselect themselves, were very insistent that dselect was "more than a front end". It's a goddamned front end. Only it's *BROKEN* because nobody was willing to hand it over to anyone who would maintain it. I hope that changes soon. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (499, 'unstable'), (2, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dselect depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.5.6 Debian package management system ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.2-9 GCC support library ii libncursesw5 5.7+20100313-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libstdc++6 4.4.2-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 dselect recommends no packages.
