Bug#537466: Couldn't configure pre-depend libc6-i386 for lib32stdc++6, probably a dependency cycle
Package: libc6-i386
Version: 2.9-23
Severity: normal
This bug currently exists: libc6-i386 and lib32stdc++6 are mismatched.
Note that the conflict is against lib32stdc++6, not lib32objc2, so the
merge of bug #537466 with #537505 may not be correct.
The messaging (performing the upgrade in aptitude) is
E: Couldn't configure pre-depend libc6-i386 for lib32stdc++6, probably a dependency cycle.
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Worth pointing out that while the error occurred in aptitude, I could
perform apt-get upgrade without the problem. So perhaps the bug is
actually in aptitude
I've notice the bug for a week or so, it may have been there earlier,
I didn't trying upgrading the week before. Our mirror has been
updated since I first found the bug, so it does not seem to be as
simple a matter as waiting for the mirror to catch up.
The versions were
libc6-i386 2.9-23 to upgrade to 2.9-25
lib32stdc++6 4.4.1-2
aptitude 0.4.11.11-1+b2
I leave it to you to review the bug and reassign to aptitude if
appropriate.
