[Aptitude-devel] Bug#1065625: libmtp9t64 / libmtp-runtime dependency problem makes dpkg fail with attempt of removal of libmtp-common

[Facundo Gaich]

Hi,

Today I upgraded one of my unstable machines and saw several instances of
something I believe is the same bug. The resolver seems to be failing to
choose to upgrade certain dependencies. What's more, in the aptitude GUI
I can see the rightmost "latest available version" column change on the fly
when I select certain packages for upgrade.

For example, I currently have libnm0 and libnm0:i386 installed at 1.46.0-1
and I can see the latest version is 1.46.0-2. If I go into the GUI and
choose
to "Install" libnm0, the latest version column for libnm0:i386 will change
from 1.46.0-2 to 1.46.0-1. Choosing "Install" on libnm0:i386 will then
effectively
do a keep of libnm0 at 1.46.0-1. To fix this, I can either go into
libnm0:i386 and
explicitly choose the newest version or I can restart the GUI and then it
will
list and choose the latest version correctly when I do Install libnm0:i386.

aptitude version: 0.8.13-6

Best,
Facundo
