Is this bug in aptitude?
Hello,
is this bug in aptitude when I try:
$ aptitude install a
[...]
b will be removed
$ aptitude install a b
[...]
b will be removed
[OK]
$ aptitude install b
[b is installed fine, the same with a]
So why does aptitude want to remove package b in the first place?
Real example:
# aptitude -t unstable install dpatch dpkg dpkg-dev dput dselect dash
iptables irb1.8 iso-codes kalarm kdegraphics-kfile-plugins kdict
kghostview kipi-plugins kmix knewsticker kolourpaint kpdf krdc
krusader ksnapshot dvd+rw-tools
