dpkg bug regarding dependencies?

2011-04-02 Thread Wolfgang Karall 
Hello,

when trying to work around
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620088 I downgraded
nfs-common to the version in testing, which actually worked, even though
nfs-kernel-server has a versioned dependency on nfs-common (see below), 
is this a bug in dpkg or did I miss something regarding the versioned
dependency handling?

I actually only noticed since aptitude forbid-version did bail out
telling me that there is a dependency problem.

Cheers
Wolfgang

This seems to be bug #20471¹.

Ah, thanks for pointing this out, haven't noticed it with
reportbug/bugs.d.o.

I actually wonder why this is not serious as Raphaël Herzog says at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=481823#10 (after all
the state of the packages stays in this unresolved-dependencies state
until the next APT/dpkg activity) but OTOH I can understand it's low
priority.

Regards
Wolfgang
