Package: apt
Version: 0.9.7.5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
invoking "apt-get install --solver dump bash" generates an edsp request
with an empty install request if the version of bash is already
installed but a not empty request if the version of bash is installed
with an older version. (bash is an example here ...)
This has two unwanted consequences : passing to an external solver an
empty request will effectively 'fix' the package installation - if
broken - leading to the possible situation where the new installation
will not contain the requested package. A different installation might
exists, but the solver does not have enough information to choose it.
The second scenario is if apt-get is invoked with --reinstall .
Generating an empty request will generate a solution that ignores the
package to be reinstalled ...
I suggest to always add the request even if the package is already
installed at it newest version giving the solver all the information to
provide back a solution to apt.

.
[ Program translation updates ]
* Ukrainian (A. Bondarenko)
.
[ David Kalnischkies ]
* apt-pkg/pkgcachegen.cc:
- ensure that dependencies for packages:none are always generated
- add 2 missing remap registrations causing a segfault in case
we use the not remapped iterators after a move of the mmap again
- write the native architecture as unique string into the cache header
as it is used for arch:all packages as a map to arch:native.
Otherwise arch comparisons later will see differences (Closes: #689323)
* apt-pkg/pkgcache.cc:
- ignore negative dependencies applying in the same group for M-A:same
packages on the real package name as self-conflicts (Closes: #688863)
* cmdline/apt-cache.cc:
- print versioned dependency relations in (r)depends if the option
APT::Cache::ShowVersion is true (default: false) as discussed in
#218995 to help debian-cd fixing #687949. Thanks to Sam Lidder
for initial patch and Steve McIntyre for nagging and testing!
* apt-pkg/edsp.cc:
- include reinstall requests and already installed (= protected) packages
in the install-request for external resolvers (Closes: #689331)
* apt-pkg/policy.cc:
- match pins with(out) an architecture as we do on the commandline
(partly fixing #687255, b= support has to wait for jessie)
* apt-pkg/contrib/netrc.cc:
- remove the 64 char limit for login/password in internal usage
- remove 256 char line limit by using getline() (POSIX.1-2008)
.
[ Colin Watson ]
* apt-pkg/pkgcachegen.cc:
- Fix crash if the cache is remapped while writing a Provides version
(LP: #1066445).
