Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.13-5
Severity: normal
When I want to remove the libldap2-dev transitional package from the
command line, I get:
cventin:~> aptitude remove -s libldap2-dev
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libldap-dev{u} libldap2-dev
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 27 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 1655 kB will be freed.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libaprutil1-dev : Depends: libldap2-dev but it is not going to be installed
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) libldap-dev [2.5.13+dfsg-3 (now, testing, unstable)]
It appears that aptitude wants to remove libldap-dev too soon,
as this will break the dependencies: libaprutil1-dev depends on
libldap2-dev, which is provided by libldap-dev.
The other proposed solutions are not OK as they want to install or
remove other packages.
And from the TUI, if I type '-' on libldap2-dev, I get:
libldap2-dev (remove, 2.5.13+dfsg-3) will be removed. ▒
▒
The following packages depend on libldap2-dev (remove, 2.5.13+dfsg-3) and will ▒
be broken by its removal: ▒
▒
* libaprutil1-dev (held/unchanged, 1.6.3-1) depends on libldap2-dev (provided▒
by libldap-dev 2.5.13+dfsg-3) ▒
This is incorrect too, and the message is even buggy, as it correctly
says that libldap2-dev is provided by libldap-dev, but I'm not asking
to remove libldap-dev. So this doesn't make sense.
