The problem is that "Replaces: libqwt5-qt4-dev (<< 6.0.0-)" is rewritten into "Replaces: libqwt5-qt4-dev (<< 6.0.0)" by dpkg in the status file and apt detects the difference... and thinks the package has changed.
Please drop that useless dash in the version. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 873435 dpkg should not "simplify" version numbers in dependencies ** Summary changed: - "apt-get upgrade" updates/reinstalls package with same version over and over again + libqwt-dev should use "6.0.0" instead of "6.0.0-" in Replaces field ** Package changed: apt (Ubuntu) => qwt (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/900566 Title: libqwt-dev should use "6.0.0" instead of "6.0.0-" in Replaces field To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qwt/+bug/900566/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
