[Cupt-devel] Bug#794430: cupt: Trying to install a uninstallable package, and not error is show

[Javier Barroso]

package:cupt
version:2.9.2

Currently on sid (last apt full-upgrade, removed gnome-shell, there is
a dependency which cannot be satisfied). There is a verbose / debug
flag on cupt?

I think cupt should explain why not gnome-shell can be installed:

with cupt:
$ sudo cupt install gnome-shell
Building the package cache...
Initializing package resolver and worker...
Scheduling requested actions...
Resolving possible unmet dependencies...
javi at Doraemon:~$ echo $?
139


with apt:

$ LANG=C sudo apt install gnome-shell
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gnome-shell : Depends: evolution-data-server (>= 3.7.90) but it is
not going to be installed
               Recommends: gnome-contacts but it is not going to be installed

Thank you !
