Bug#294732: apt experimental 0.6.25 depends on obsolete libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.11.2 and blocks testing packages
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.25
Severity: normal
Tags: experimental
Since experimental apt gives release signature checking it seems quite
widely used.
Unfortunately it depends on long obsolete libapt-pkg-perl:
$ apt-cache policy libapt-pkg-perl
libapt-pkg-perl:
Zainstalowana: 0.1.11.2
Kandydująca: 0.1.13
Tabela wersji:
0.1.13 0
990 ftp://ftp.debian.org testing/main Packages
500 ftp://ftp.debian.org unstable/main
Packages
*** 0.1.11.2 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
This blocks all packages depending on libapt-pkg-perl:
Directly:
localization-config
apt-src
apt-show-versions
apt-rdepends
apt-file
apt-build
And many others indirectly.
