Bug#267261: priority problem?
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.27
Severity: normal
I tried posting this to 258851@bugs.debian.org, but since that bug is
archived, it didn't go through. Please skim/read
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=258851&archive=yes
first, thanks.
Ok, I think I know what happenned. Now I am seeing similar problems with
esound. I have some weird combination of testing/unstable for the esound
packages. I see that I have esound-clients 0.2.34-1 installed. It
depends (I believe incorrectly) on libesd0 (>= 0.2.29-1). libesd0
0.2.29-1 is in testing, while 0.2.34-1 is in unstable. I have
libesd0/testing and esound-clients/unstable installed. I have testing as
a higher priority than unstable. So, for some reason now, I am having
problems when I do a "apt-get upgrade -u". It always upgrades and
replaces libesd0 0.2.29-1 with libesd0 0.2.29-1. I don't know why
esound-clients 0.2.34-1 depends on libesd0 (>= 0.2.29-1), but I think that
is problem #1. And I think that is exposing a problem #2 with apt and
its priorities. Does anyone have any other thoughts?
Thanks,
Jayen
