Package: apt
Version: 0.3.18
Severity: normal

I put sendmail on hold since I question the advisability of having Beta
software handle my mail.  I also notice that sendmail now depends on
sfio1999.

# echo -e 'sendmail\thold' | dpkg --set-selections.

I do an apt-get -s dist-upgrade to see what's left.  Hmm.  Interesting.
It's still trying to install sfio99.  I install the various upgraded
packages to see if any of them needed sfio1999 (there were only 6).
They don't.

So, I get the following display:
# apt-get -s dist-upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Calculating Upgrade... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  sfio1999
The following packages have been kept back
  apache-common libgd-graph-perl rmagic sendmail
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
Inst sfio1999 [shellutils on hurd]
Conf sfio1999

It seems inadvisable to install a new package for something on hold...

Here's the what sendmail depends on:
# apt-cache depends sendmail | grep Depends:
  Depends: libc6
  Depends: libdb2
  Depends: libopenldap1
  Depends: libpam0g
  Depends: libsasl7
  Depends: libssl09
  Depends: libwrap0
  Depends: sfio1999
  Depends: m4
  Depends: <awk>
 |Depends: procmail
  Depends: deliver

package apt
unmerge 64141
unmerge 445311
merge 64141 445311
fixed 64141 0.7.22

unmerge 92569
fixed 92569 0.7.26~exp8
thanks

The bug described in the first two mentioned bugs described by that a package
which is on hold (by dpkg) causes installation/removal of other packages is
fixed since 0.7.22 as already closed which can be verified with attached
testcase. (this is different to the other bugreports where APT sets the
package on hold while work is in progress)

The third bug just asks for making the order of install requests irrelevant.
This bug was tracked as #196021 and is fixed since 0.7.26~exp8.

So both fixes are be available in squeeze.


Best regards

David Kalnischkies
