Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
This appeared during a dist-upgrade. Since when is it considered an
error to update/install a package which has already been installed? I
know that dpkg has no qualms about reinstalling packages:
s dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/python-support_0.8.7ubuntu1_all.deb
[sudo] password for frank:
(Reading database ... 293841 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace python-support 0.8.7ubuntu1 (using
.../python-support_0.8.7ubuntu1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement python-support ...
Setting up python-support (0.8.7ubuntu1) ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
So something in apt complains about something which dpkg thinks is
fine...
