Hello,
sorry, don't want to be annoying, but with another update of a software
i package for maemo this problem is still unsolved. In short: How do I
make the update with Application Manager possible of two packages that
depend on an exact version of a library package? I.e. package A version
x.y and package B x.y depend both on package C x.y , but Application
Manager refuses to update both at once (unlike what apt-get upgrade
would do).
Thanks
Stefan

Subject: Update conflict with "Update All" and dependencies

Hello,
I am running across a strange thing with Application manager: "Update
all" does not seem to work like "apt-get upgrade", instead it seems to
update one package after the other. This of course fails if multiple
packages depend on the same version of another package - all other
packages would have to be deinstalled first to be able to update one of
those packages.
I have two application packages that both depend on an exact version of
a library package. Now when I push updates of all three packages to
(extras-devel) repository, in the application manager I see the two
application packages as available updates. The problem is, if I want to
update one, it says "Conflicting application packages" and "Conflict
with application packages:" and the other application package with the
old version. While that may be expected behaviour, IMO a clear bug is
that "Update all" fails with the same - first it says "Unable to update
xyz, Conflicting application packages. Continue installing?" but if I
click yes, it complains with not being able to install the other package
again.
apt-get upgrade of course works correctly, updating all three at once
('apt-get install anki ankiqt' would work as well i guess). I can not
believe the "Application manager" to be so stupid on top of such a
powerful package and dependencies system as debian's. Maybe I got the
dependencies wrong?
To illustrate, the dependencies of the old version:
Package: ankiqt
Version: 0.9.9.7.6b-4
Depends: anki (= 0.9.9.7.6b-4), python2.5-qt4-svg
Package: ankimaemi
Version: 0.0.6-8
Depends: anki (= 0.9.9.7.6b-4)
Package: anki
Version: 0.9.9.7.6b-4
Depends: python2.5, python-sqlalchemy (<< 0.5.0), python-simplejson (>=
2.0.6)
And the new ones:
Package: ankiqt
Version: 0.9.9.7.9-2
Depends: anki (= 0.9.9.7.9-1), python2.5-qt4-svg
Package: ankimaemi
Version: 0.0.7-2
Depends: anki (= 0.9.9.7.9-1)
Package: anki
Version: 0.9.9.7.9-1
Depends: python2.5, python-sqlalchemy (<< 0.5.0), python-simplejson (>=
2.0.6)
Thanks for any hints how to solve this. I have not found any related
bugs in "Settings and maintenance" at bugs.maemo.org.
