I guess this is some local package you built? No, ia32-apt-get had been in unstable for some time as a replacement for ia32-libs, but it has been removed because many people (including, most relevant, the FTP masters) considered it to be too buggy.

Since ia32-apt-get does not exist anymore and thus cannot be fixed to stop shipping this diverted /usr/bin/aptitude, the only option is to declare a conflict with it in the aptitude package, AFAICS.

Yeah, I think that's exactly the right solution. Thanks for the info (probably I should learn to use Google before I talk :P ).

Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.0.1-1 Severity: serious 0.4.11.11-1+b2 - 0.6.0.1-1 during install: update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/aptitude-curses to provide /usr/bin/aptitude (aptitude) in auto mode. update-alternatives: warning: not replacing /usr/bin/aptitude with a link. ... after install: dawn:/var/cache/apt/archives# aptitude Error: aptitude is not installed. Copying symlinks from another box fixed the problem. /usr/bin/aptitude - /etc/alternatives/aptitude /etc/alternatives/aptitude - /usr/bin/aptitude-curses I didn't touch alternatives... I'm not really sure if this bug is really related to aptitude or something that broke alternatives. -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
