Bug#41839: apt: apt-get reinstalls packages
Hi,
this is really a bug. I'm facing it too:
On my system, qt1g_1.44-5 is installed. It's available through two
different apt lines:
deb http://kde.tdyc.com potato kde contrib
deb ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/unix/linux/Debian/debian potato main
The latter only offers qt1g_1.44-4 (instead of -5).
Everytime I run 'apt-get dist-upgrade' apt wants to download qt1g_1.44-5:
asterix:~# dpkg -l qt1g | grep ^ii
ii qt1g 1.44-5 Shared Library used by applications linked w
asterix:~# apt-cache showpkg qt1g | grep ^Versions:
Versions: 1.44-5(/var/state/apt/lists/kde.tdyc.com_dists_potato_kde_binary-i386_Packages),1.44-5(/var/lib/dpkg/status),1.44-4(/var/state/apt/lists/ftp.leo.org_pub_comp_os_unix_linux_Debian_debian_dists_potato_non-free_binary-i386_Packages),
asterix:~# apt-get dist-upgrade
