** Description changed: TEST CASE: 1. Enable multiarch (should be automatic on new oneiric systems) 2. Install an i386 package on amd64 (like flashplugin-installer:i386) 3. Mark something with a lot of dependencies for installation 4. On the confirmation screen, try to remove on of the dependencies (aptitude will now fail to perform upgrades when there's a package conflict w/out removing the i386 libs) This renders aptitude painful on a multiarch enabled system (default in oneiric). + + WORKAROUND: + 1. If you can survive without 32 bit libraries, just comment out the single line in /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch; or + 2. Use another package manager (e.g. apt-get, synaptic, or Software Center) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: aptitude 0.6.4-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-9.12-generic 3.0.3 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-9-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Aug 23 00:28:38 2011 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=C SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: aptitude UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-03-06 (169 days ago)
