Package: bibtex2html
Version: 1.90-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Note: I'm not sure whether this is a bug in bibtex2html 1.90-2 or in
dpkg.
I've upgraded bibtex2htmlfrom 1.90-1 to 1.90-2 with aptitude and got
the following error:
Errors were encountered while processing:
bibtex2html
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of bibtex2html:
bibtex2html depends on ocaml-base-nox-3.10.1; however:
Package ocaml-base-nox-3.10.1 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing bibtex2html (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
bibtex2html
It seems that the system (dpkg?) has let bibtex2html to be upgraded
to 1.90-2 though bibtex2html now depends on ocaml-base-nox-3.10.1 and
ocaml-base-nox-3.10.1 isn't installed (and isn't even available).
Now apt-get complains that the dependencies are incorrect.
Fortunately I still had the bibtex2html 1.90-1 Debian package in the
archives, and I could reinstall it with:
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/bibtex2html_1.90-1_all.deb
But there's definitely something broken in bibtex2html 1.90-2 or dpkg.

Package dependencies are supposed to be checked by the package manager,
not the package being installed. However you don't provide a log of how
you installed the new bibtex2html, so I don't think it's possible to
debug this.
