Bug#318725: libpcre3-dev: Cannot be installed (wrong dependency)

If somehow 5.0 of the library had got into sarge but the same version of the -dev package hadn't, that would clearly be a bug, but not anything to do with me. However, this doesn't appear to be the case. As far as I can see sarge contains 4.5-1.2 of both, and unstable contains 5.0-1 of both. How you have ended up with 5.0-1 of the library on your system I don't know. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How you have ended up with 5.0-1 of the library on your system I don't know. Yes, I see. I think I know how it could have happend. Initially, when I installed my machine, there was no testing branch for amd64. Later this was added, and I switched to it. If you look at the directory on alioth you can see, that 4.5-1.2 was build *later* than 5.0-1 on amd64. So I probably installed 5.0-1 when amd64 did not yet have testing and thus got the wrong version. Thanks for your quick reply. I downgraded and can now install the -dev package as well.

Bug#318725: libpcre3-dev: Cannot be installed (wrong dependency)
Package: libpcre3-dev Severity: grave Tags: sarge (This has been reproduced on an i386 sarge changeroot) I wanted to rebuild arson which in turn need kdelibs4-dev which in turn needs libpcre3-dev which cannot be installed: remaxp:~# env LANG=C apt-get install libpcre3-dev Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libpcre3-dev: Depends: libpcre3 (= 4.5-1.2) but 5.0-1 is to be installed E: Broken packages It would be great if you could fix the dependency and get an updated package included in the next point release of sarge. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-9-amd64-k8 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- Dr. Helge Kreutzmann, Dipl.-Phys.
