My sid box has cupsys and xpdf-utils installed (among a bunch of other things). When I run "aptitude safe-upgrade", aptitude runs through its normal prep, followed by many lines of "Resolving dependencies...", followed by:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: xpdf-utils: Conflicts: poppler-utils but 0.8.2-2 is to be installed. poppler-utils: Conflicts: xpdf-utils but 3.02-1.3 is installed. Then it exits. I can tell xpdf-utils and poppler-utils conflict; fine. But xpdf-utils is already installed, poppler-utils is not. I thought aptitude would normally let the already-installed xpdf-utils fulfill the dependency and ignore poppler-utils. But it's not. So I thought that something else might be trying to pull poppler-utils in, but: frenesi: ~ % aptitude why poppler-utils i cupsys Depends poppler-utils | xpdf-utils frenesi: ~ % aptitude why xpdf-utils i cupsys Depends poppler-utils | xpdf-utils Further, "aptitude full-upgrade" doesn't seem to want to upgrade xpdf-utils *or* install poppler-utils. "apt-cache policy xpdf-utils" tells me I'm have the current xpdf-utils 3.02-1.3. So why is "aptitude safe-upgrade" complaining and exiting? I'm inclined to just run "full-upgrade" and be done with it. (I normally run "safe-upgrade" first, then "full-upgrade", which is why I ran into this. Is that superstitious?) That said, I think I misunderstand something here, but I'm not sure what. Not a killer problem, but I'd appreciate the enlightenment. :) - Aaron -- Aaron Hall : "We have to protect our children from [EMAIL PROTECTED] : district attorneys." : -- Georgia state senator Emanuel Jones -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
