Package: apt
Severity: wishlist

It seems I'll never be able to upgrade.

Maybe this was fixed elsewhere,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libapt-pkg-perl/+bug/243537
but not Debian.

# aptitude full-upgrade
The following packages are BROKEN:
  aptitude libapt-pkg-perl libept0 python-apt
The following packages will be upgraded:
  apt apt-utils
2 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1828kB of archives. After unpacking 20.5kB will be freed.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  aptitude: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6-4.6 which is a virtual package.
  python-apt: Depends: libapt-inst-libc6.7-6-1.1 which is a virtual package.
              Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6-4.6 which is a virtual package.
  libapt-pkg-perl: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6-4.6 which is a virtual package.
  libept0: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6-4.6 which is a virtual package.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Keep the following packages at their current version:
apt [0.7.21~exp1 (now)]

Downgrade the following packages:
apt-utils [0.7.21~exp1 (now) -> 0.7.20.2 (unstable)]

Hi,

that was a temporary problem in the archive -
uninstallable packages are not completely uncommon in
unstable/experimental and even sometimes in testing.

There is nothing APT/aptitude/whatever could do against it
as it is the nature of these archives.

(Okay in that specific case APT could: Solution would be a real
 library package and not the thing it currently provides as libapt-pkg
 but that needs a lot of work before it can be true…)


Best regards
