Re: The future of the amd64 port

Well, I removed the old entries. The problem is clearly introduced by the new 
entries.

Interestingly, although the packages provided by Sarge and Etch should 
theoretically be the same, they behave differently. I tried this with diff, 
which is one of the about 20 packages affected on my system:

1. 
XXXXXXXX~# aptitude -t stable -syvDV install diff
...
The following packages have been kept back:
...
The following packages will be upgraded:
  diff [2.8.1-11 -> 2.8.1-11]
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 22 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/190kB of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
Inst diff [2.8.1-11] (2.8.1-11 Debian AMD64 archive:3.1r0/stable)
Conf diff (2.8.1-11 Debian AMD64 archive:3.1r0/stable)


2.
XXXXXXXX~# aptitude -t testing -syvDV install diff
...
The following NEW packages will be automatically installed:
  tzdata [2006c-2] (D: libc6)
The following packages will be automatically REMOVED:
  base-config [2.53.10-0.0.0.1.pure64] (C: locales)
The following packages have been kept back:

So, we have the same package with different dependencies when installed via 
Sarge and Etch?
