sbuild seems to use this when installing build dependencies with the aptitude-based resolver. It passes -o Aptitude::ProblemResolver::Hints::KeepDummy="reject $dummy_pkg_name :UNINST" along with some other options (cf. lib/Sbuild/AptitudeResolver.pm in the sbuild source package). I don't know whether one wants to use this somewhere else or not. Regards, Ansgar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
