Package: apt Version: 0.5.27 Severity: normal I tried posting this to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but since that bug is archived, it didn't go through. Please skim/read http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=258851&archive=yes first, thanks.
Ok, I think I know what happenned. Now I am seeing similar problems with esound. I have some weird combination of testing/unstable for the esound packages. I see that I have esound-clients 0.2.34-1 installed. It depends (I believe incorrectly) on libesd0 (>= 0.2.29-1). libesd0 0.2.29-1 is in testing, while 0.2.34-1 is in unstable. I have libesd0/testing and esound-clients/unstable installed. I have testing as a higher priority than unstable. So, for some reason now, I am having problems when I do a "apt-get upgrade -u". It always upgrades and replaces libesd0 0.2.29-1 with libesd0 0.2.29-1. I don't know why esound-clients 0.2.34-1 depends on libesd0 (>= 0.2.29-1), but I think that is problem #1. And I think that is exposing a problem #2 with apt and its priorities. Does anyone have any other thoughts?
