(run ./build to rebuild them) * Install the testdep-allsarch_1.0-1_all.deb package. * Then run the following command and install the package: qapt-deb-installer testdep-allsarch-default_1.0-1_i386.deb (on a 64-bit system, on a 32-bit one replace i386 with amd64) The command will appear to succeed but in fact it leaves the testdep- allsarch-default broken. The problem is that qapt-deb-installer seems to think that architecture all packages can satisfy the dependencies of packages of any architecture. That's wrong. In fact they can only satisfy the dependencies of other architecture all packages, or of packages in the system's native architecture. Here the testdep-allsarch-default package we try to install is not in the system's default architecture and thus its dependency on testdep- allsarch cannot be satisfied. Note that this is also true of multiarch architecture=all packages. For instance one can also reproduce this bug with the following package combination (from the set of test packages): * Install testdep-allallowed_1.0-1_all.deb (a multiarch=allowed, architecture=all package) Run qapt-deb-installer testdep-allallowed-default_1.0-1_i386.deb Note that this is actually 'part two' of bug 330448. It turns out it's a bit more important that I first realised. This is also somewhat related to bug 330446 in that it's multiarch=foreign packages that can satisfy dependencies for any architecture instead of architecture=all as qapt-deb-installer seems to think. The fix to the two bugs is probably different though. * Bug 330446: qapt-deb-installer fails to detect and report some installation errors https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330446 * Bug 330448: qapt-deb-installer mishandles dependencies on multiarch=foreign packages https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330448 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: qapt-deb-installer 2.0.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-26.38-generic 3.8.13.2 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-26-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8.1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Jul 27 00:23:06 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-04-29 (88 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: qapt UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) Reproducible: Always Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qapt/+bug/1205539/comments/3 ** Changed in: qapt Status: Unknown => New ** Changed in: qapt Importance: Unknown => Medium ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #330446 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330446 ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #330448 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330448 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to qapt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1205539 Title: qapt-deb-installer mishandles dependencies on architecture=all packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qapt/+bug/1205539/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
