Problem with Package Dependencies Solver
Last modified: 2005-08-17 11:08:06 UTC
There might be a problem solving the package dependencies. I have found it by installing the "postgres-server" and "postgres" packages at once. Reproduced with today's STABLE. I'll try it again after we download the inofficial Beta2. "postgres-server" requires "postgres" and "postgres-libs" "postgres" requires "postgres-libs" So the requirement is there twice... Howto reproduce the error: If you select "postgres-server" AND "postgres" in the package manager, it returns dependency conflict => postgres-libs unavailable. Then (after clicking on [Ignore] it selects the postgres-libs package). Howto make it working: If you select "postgres-server" ONLY, it retutns => "dependencies are OK" and selects also the dependent packages: "postgres" and "postgres-libs". logs will follow...

postgresql-libs provides the same name in two versions. An optimization in search_for_provider prevented the solver from seeing the second one. Fixed in svn.
