Hi,

I tried to install dstat on a relatively recent sid system:

# apt-get -u install dstat

The following NEW packages will be installed:

Huh? apt-get should've taken care of that, surely?

Let's try to force it:

So it turns out the python package was already 2.7.5-3, but for some reason
that didn't satisfy a dependency on python:any (>= 2.6.6-7~) as far as dpkg
was concerned, but did satisfy it as far as apt-get was concerned.

To me it looks like apt-get was right and dpkg was wrong.

Yes, because the bug in 0.9.12 wasn't really in apt, but in libapt-pkg,
which you hadn't upgraded and was hence still in the buggy version…

Hence this problem is fixed by now and I therefore close it, but if this
is still reprodicible feel free to reopen it!
