Package: apt
Version: 0.3.6
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'm not sure if this really qualifies as bug ;-) However it is annoying.
I intentionally installed jadetex and tetex-nonfree, although the conflict
at the moment because of a jadetex bug (it works if I install jadetex before
tetex-nonfree).
Now apt-get barfs on me and doesn't install or download anything:
apt-get -df install pgp-i
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
jadetex: Conflicts: tetex-nonfree (>= 0.9.990510) but 0.9.990510-2 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
First, 'Try using -f' is definitely wrong (because I did this). Second, I
want to install a package which has nothing to do with either jadetex nor
tetex-nonfree. And finally, I even put jadetex and tetex-nonfree on hold
(with dselect) but it doesn't help either.
BTW, I'd like to draw your attention on the 3rd output line ("You might...").
It doesn't make sense. It should either be output later, or should be
reworded.
Thanks,
Ulf
