[Pkg-tigervnc-devel] Bug#763412: libjpeg-dev reinstalls over itself

Tue Sep 30 09:40:48 UTC 2014

Control: reassign -1 apt

I can confirm the behaviour, but I just could find a cause,
it looks like some misbehaviour in apt, since everything
looks normal. Checksums are OK, the cache is OK, but
it just behaves weird.

I am reassigning this to apt.

More symptoms:

1. double listing of the package in apt-cache show output

# apt-cache show libjpeg-dev

2. Same for apt-cache policy

# apt-cache policy libjpeg-dev
libjpeg-dev:
  Installed: 1:1.3.1-3
  Candidate: 1:1.3.1-3
  Version table:
     1:1.3.1-3 0
        500 http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/ sid/main amd64 Packages
 *** 1:1.3.1-3 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3. Reinstalling over and over:

root at kage:/var/cache/apt/archives# apt-get install libjpeg-dev
