Bug#677454: apt: Missing provides from EDSP encoding
Package: apt
Version: 0.9.6
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
It seems that there is something wrong in the Provides field in the EDSP
encoding passed to external solvers.
In this case the problem is related to the encoding for the package perl-base.
The package currently installed on my machine is
perl-base:amd64 version 5.14.2-11
the Provides listed for this package is just libscalar-list-utils-perl
however the provides in the stanza for perl-base as returned by apt-get show is
Provides: libscalar-list-utils-perl, libxsloader-perl, perl5-base, perlapi-5.14.2
In particular the provides perlapi-5.14.2 . This missing information induces external
solvers to fail...
Below a snippet from the EDSP file obtained with "--solver dump" and the output of
"apt-get show perl-base"
