Bug#390072: aptitude reports libgtk-pixbuf-perl as broken and can't be upgraded
Package: libgtk-pixbuf-perl
Version: 0.7009-2
Severity: normal
When trying to dist-upgrade aptitude tries to upgrade libgtk-perl and libgtk-pixbuf-perl, the *pixbuf* won't install because it has unresolved dependencies against libgtk-perl.
By downgrading:
root@zond:~# aptitude dist-upgrade
[cut]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgtk-pixbuf-perl: Depends: libgtk-perl (= 0.7009-6) but 0.7009-11 is to be installed.
Resolving dependencies...
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Downgrade the following packages:
libgtk-perl [0.7009-6 (now) -> 0.7009-2 (stable)]
libgtk-pixbuf-perl [0.7009-6 (now) -> 0.7009-2 (stable)]
Score is -130

Unpacking replacement libgtk-perl ...
Setting up libgtk-perl (0.7009-2) ...
Setting up libgtk-pixbuf-perl (0.7009-2) ..
.... this doesn't help a bit, a dist-upgrad just after the downgrade makes aptitude propose to remove the packages.
maybe the bug should be filed against dvdrip, that seems to be the only app. affected in my system at least.
