Re: Bug#258647: libc6-sparc64 has no reason to depend on lib64gcc1
Debian's dependency system NEVER made any sense.
Seen today on my Debian/i386 system:
bombur:~/aac-plugin-for-xmms# dpkg --install autoconf_2.59-5_all.deb
Selecting previously deselected package autoconf.
dpkg: regarding autoconf_2.59-5_all.deb containing autoconf:
autoconf conflicts with autoconf2.13 (<< 2.13-47)
autoconf2.13 (version 2.13-43) is installed.
dpkg: error processing autoconf_2.59-5_all.deb (--install):
conflicting packages - not installing autoconf
Errors were encountered while processing:
autoconf_2.59-5_all.deb
bombur:~/aac-plugin-for-xmms# dpkg --purge autoconf
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of autoconf:
autoconf2.13 depends on autoconf (>= 2.50).
dpkg: error processing autoconf (--purge):
dependency problems - not removing
Errors were encountered while processing:
autoconf
bombur:~/aac-plugin-for-xmms#
Yes-- to install or remove autoconf 2.13, I had to first install autoconf
2.5. Or that's what the dependency checker gnomes told me.
