Hi,
Attempting to install sylpheed-claws-gtk2 in sid leads to the following:
apt-get install -s sylpheed-claws-gtk2
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
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:
sylpheed-claws-gtk2: Depends: claws-mail (= 3.0.2-1) but it is not
going to be installed
Depends: claws-mail ( 3.0.2-1.1~) but it is not
going to be installed
E: Broken packages
See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/monodevelop/+bug/155341
Forcing the conflict with -f, or versioning the conflict in the source
package with:
sylpheed-claws-gtk2 ( ${source:Version})
solves the problem (of course the transitional package needs to be
manually removed).
According to the policy manual ([1], para 7.5.2), your control file seems
correct and should lead to claws-mail being installed instead of
sylpheed-claws-gtk2.
Could this be a bug with apt?
Could be, otherwise I don't know why the range = 3.0.2-1 3.0.2-1.1~
doesn't resolve to the point 3.0.2-1.
Anyway I think the bug is somewhat useful, because users should not
install sylpheed-claws-gtk2 anymore and they get informed what they should
install instead ;-)

Bug#447496: Trying to install sylpheed-claws-gtk2 in sid leads to unresolvable conflict
Hi Ricardo, thanks for looking into this so quickly! I don't know why the range = 3.0.2-1 3.0.2-1.1~ doesn't resolve to the point 3.0.2-1. I actually don't think that this is the problem. For instance, you have the same constraints for sylpheed-claws-gtk2-trayicon, yet it installs without problems: apt-get install -s sylpheed-claws-gtk2-trayicon Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... The following extra packages will be installed: claws-mail claws-mail-trayicon defoma file fontconfig fontconfig-config snip Suggested packages: claws-mail-doc www-browser gedit kedit mousepad nedit claws-mail-tools snip Recommended packages: claws-mail-i18n xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi-transcoded snip The following NEW packages will be installed: claws-mail claws-mail-trayicon defoma file fontconfig fontconfig-config snip 0 upgraded, 62 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Inst x11-common (1:7.2-5 Debian:unstable) Inst libxau6 (1:1.0.3-2 Debian:unstable) Inst libxdmcp6 (1:1.0.2-2 Debian:unstable) snip Inst claws-mail (3.0.0-1 Debian:unstable) Inst claws-mail-trayicon (3.0.0-1 Debian:unstable) Inst sylpheed-claws-gtk2-trayicon (3.0.0-1 Debian:unstable) Conf libxau6 (1:1.0.3-2 Debian:unstable) Conf libxdmcp6 (1:1.0.2-2 Debian:unstable) Conf libx11-data (2:1.0.3-7 Debian:unstable) snip Conf claws-mail (3.0.0-1 Debian:unstable) Conf claws-mail-trayicon (3.0.0-1 Debian:unstable) Conf sylpheed-claws-gtk2-trayicon (3.0.0-1 Debian:unstable) So, I really think that the Conflicts+Replaces is not resolved as it should.
