Bug#720449: apt-utils 0.9.9.4 needs dependency on libapt-inst1.5 = 0.9.9.4

[JS]

Below are the dependencies for 3 versions of apt-utils from apt-cache showpkg.


Perhaps for version 0.9.9.4 the first should be: libapt-instl.5 (2 0.9.9) or at 
least some version greater than 0.9.7.7,

which was the one installed on my system when this problem was happening.



Dependencies: 
0.9.9.4 - libapt-inst1.5 (2 0.8.0) libapt-pkg4.12 (2 0.9.9.4) libc6 (2 2.4) 
libdb5.1 (0 (null)) libgcc1 (2 1:4.1.1) libstdc++6 (2 4.4.0) xz-utils (0 
(null)) 
0.9.7.7 - libapt-inst1.5 (2 0.8.0) libapt-pkg4.12 (2 0.8.16~exp9) libc6 (2 2.4) 
libdb5.1 (0 (null)) libgcc1 (2 1:4.1.1) libstdc++6 (2 4.4.0) xz-utils (0 
(null)) 
0.8.15.10 - apt (2 0.8.12) libapt-pkg4.10 (0 (null)) libc6 (2 2.4) libdb5.1 (0 
(null)) libgcc1 (2 1:4.1.1) libstdc++6 (2 4.4.0)

Package: apt-utils
Version: 0.9.9.4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I upgraded apt-utils to version 0.9.9.4 (from version 0.9.8.1) 
and apt-get did not require an upgrade also for libapt-inst1.5 to
version 0.9.9.4. Therefore my version of this library remained at 0.9.7.7.

apt-extracttemplates and apt-ftparchive still worked, but on every package
produced the error:

   E: Could not open file descriptor -1
  debconf: apt-extracttemplates failed: No such file or directory 

although the installs and ftp archives did complete with no error.

I was able to trace this to the method:
 ExtractTar::StartGzip() () from /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libapt-inst.so.1.5

Upgrading libapt-instl to version 0.9.9.4 fixed the problem. The higher
version of this library package should be added to the dependencies for
apt-utils.
