Bug#111971: apt: can't get dependencies right (wants to install unneeded packages)



Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: minor

Hello,

Despite this:

lucretia:~$ dpkg -I /var/cache/apt/archives/libsdl1.2_1.2.2-3_i386.deb |
grep Depend
 Depends: libsdl1.2-all (= 1.2.2-3) | libsdl1.2-oss (= 1.2.2-3) |
libsdl1.2-esd (= 1.2.2-3) | libsdl1.2-arts (= 1.2.2-3)
lucretia:~$ dpkg -I /var/cache/apt/archives/libsdl1.2-oss_1.2.2-3_i386.deb |
grep Depend
 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.3-7), xlibs (>> 4.1.0)

and this:

lucretia:~# apt-get -f install
Reading Package Lists... Done

apt tells me this:

lucretia:~# apt-get install libsdl1.2{,-oss}/unstable

In reality, no extra packages are needed at all. Installing the downloaded
packages manually with dpkg -i works just fine.


Regards,

Filip
