Bug#155998: project: .all.deb not installable on all architectures/dependency woody -> unstable
Package: project
Version: N/A; reported 2002-08-07
Severity: normal
helge@sixtyfor:~$ apt-cache search pingus
pingus-data - Free Lemmings(tm) clone
ixtyfor:~# apt-get install pingus-data
Reading Package Lists... 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.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
pingus-data: Depends: pingus but it is not installable
E: Sorry, broken packages
Manually downloading pingus-data ..

Preparing to replace pingus-data 0.5.0pre3-1 (using pingus-data_0.5.0pre3-1_all.deb) ...

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of pingus-data:
pingus-data depends on pingus; however:
Package pingus is not installed.
dpkg: error processing pingus-data (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
pingus-data
I think this bug is not (only) package specific but rather a general bug
because an all-deb (with probably an pingus.xxx.i386.deb in woody ?) entered
woody, while the corresponding package (pingus.xxx.alpha.deb) did not.
Or it is an bug in apt, which should state that this all deb is
currently not instalable on this particular architecture since the
(binary dependent) dependencies are not (yet) fullfilled in the selected
distribution.
