Package: apt
Version: 1.1.5
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I was installing upgrades the other day and everything appeared to work
correctly. Then I went to manually install a package and `apt` said that
there were missing dependencies and I needed to run `apt-get install -f`
to fix them. I did this, but the problem persisted.
Digging into it more, I found that `evince` depends on
`libevdocument3-4`. Both of these are installed according to `dpkg -l`
and both are present in `/var/lib/dpkg/status`
However, `apt-cache policy libevdocument3-4` said the file was not
installed.
After trying multiple things, I found that if I moved `libevdocument3-4`
up next to `evince` in `/var/lib/dpkg/status`, then everything worked
correctly.
I just ran `apt-get upgrade` and now it is telling me:
apt-get install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gir1.2-gnomebluetooth-1.0 : Depends: libgnome-bluetooth13 (>= 3.12.0)
but it is not installed
gnome-bluetooth : Depends: libgnome-bluetooth13 (>= 3.12.0) but it is
not installed
gnome-control-center : Depends: libgnome-bluetooth13 (>= 3.12.0) but
it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
So this seems to be a broader issue where if I fix one thing then
another breaks. `libgnome-bluetooth13` is installed and present in
`/var/lib/dpkg/status`.
