Bug#564217: [luatex] unresolvable dependency cycle
Package: luatex
Version: 0.50.0-1
Severity: serious
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Steps to reproduce.
1. context (2008.05.21-1) is installed, depends on texlive-base-bin
(>= 2007) and recommends luatex (any).
2. luatex (0.28.0-2) got installed.
3. luatex (0.50.0-1) became available, collides with texlive-base-bin
(< 2008).
4. Only texlive-base-bin (2007.dfsg.2-8) is available.
Results in the following cycle (default solution):
1. Downgrade texlive-base-bin (2007.dfsg.2-8) to
(2007.dfsg.2-4+lenny1).
2. Upgrade texlive-base-bin (2007.dfsg.2-4+lenny1) to texlive-base-bin
(2007.dfsg.2-8).
3. Go to 1.
Alternative solution:
a) remove luatex and
b) keep texlive-base-bin (2007.dfsg.2-8) and
c) keep texlive-luatex [(not installed) and
d) ignore context recommends luatex
texlive-binaries seems to be involved as the provider of a virtual package.
Both solutions aren't prefect.
Can you resolve this issue?
