[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#586201: clamav-daemon: ClamAV-daemon has unmet dependencies

[Pete Donnell]

Package: clamav-daemon
Version: 0.96+dfsg-4~volatile1
Severity: normal


This might be arch-specific, as I haven't experienced the problem on my x86
box. When attempting to perform a dselect-upgrade on a PowerPC box,
clamav-daemon is selected for uninstallation. Here's the output I get after
going ahead with the upgrade and then attempting to reinstall the package
manually:

root at localhost:~# apt-get install clamav-daemon
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.
  clamav-daemon: Depends: clamav-base (= 0.96+dfsg-4~volatile1) but 0.96.1+dfsg-1~volatile1 is to be 
installed
E: Broken packages

I'm not sure if this was caused by a minor mistake in the package build for
PowerPC, or whether there's a more serious underlying problem. I'm loath to
start tinkering with it on a production box though, and I don't have a spare
PowerPC system available for testing right now.

Thanks,
Pete
