[Piuparts-devel] Bug#539146: piuparts: debconf-english false negative

[Patrick Schoenfeld]

Hi,

FWIW: I had a quick look at the new log [1] and can confirm
that this seems to be a false-positive. Indeed the removing
fails, because debconf depends on debconf-i18n | debconf-english
and removing debconf-english will not install debconf-i18n again.

I don't really have a good idea how to fix this.
Would a apt-get -f install after the first tried remove suffice?
Should piuparts be more aware of depends? Should the selection derived
from creating the chroot be restored?

More answers as questions...

Best Regards,
Patrick
