Hi all.


I'm having this problem in unstable for a week now:

------ start ------
The following packages are BROKEN:
openoffice.org-core (D: libcurl4-gnutls) python-pycurl (D:
libcurl4-gnutls) vorbis-tools (D: libcurl4-gnutls)
The following packages are unused and will be REMOVED:
libcurl4-gnutls (D: git-core, D: ofx)
The following NEW packages will be automatically installed:
libcurl3-gnutls (D: git-core, D: ofx)
The following packages have been kept back:
dosemu
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libcurl3-gnutls
The following packages will be upgraded:
git-core ofx
2 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 3838kB of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openoffice.org-core: Depends: libcurl4-gnutls (>= 7.16.2-1) but it
is not installable
vorbis-tools: Depends: libcurl4-gnutls (>= 7.16.2-1) but it is not installable
python-pycurl: Depends: libcurl4-gnutls (>= 7.16.2-1) but it is not
installable
Resolving dependencies...
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Remove the following packages:
ofx

Keep the following packages at their current version:
git-core [1:1.5.2.2-1+b1 (now)]
libcurl3-gnutls [Not Installed]
libcurl4-gnutls [7.16.2-4 (unstable, now)]

Score is 269

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
----- end ------

This is my sources.list:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/ experimental main contrib non-free
# w32codecs and others
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ unstable main
# package source
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/ unstable main contrib non-free


Anyone has an idea how to resolve this?
thanks in advance.


All the best.

all the packages involved in your conflict have a fixed version
available. you should simply upgrade them all.

Hi Domenico,


I want to upgrade, but I think these conditions make it a no-go for me:

- libcurl3-gnutls Conflicts: libcurl4-gnutls
- openoffice.org-core Depends: libcurl4-gnutls


All the best.

probably you are a amd64 or powerpc user, where the fixed
openoffice.org-core is still not available. you still have to wait a
little, sorry :/

ciao,

Huh ?

I'm on an i386 here.
How could I became amd64 or ppc?

This is strange for me. Yesterday, I tried get.debian.net, and that
site has also identified me as amd64/ppc.

Where could I check this ?
Thanks again.

Anyway, I'll just wait for a few more days to see what'll happen.


All the best.

I'm sorry, but I don't think inquiries about unstable issues are on
topic here, unless you want to discuss patches you've sent (even then,
the relevant packages' bugs would be better).

Please ask on debian-user or use stable or testing, which are should
support package installation without problems.

Um, why then would we encourage users of unstable to subscribe to
debian-devel and ask questions here? Problems with the unstable archives
are on-topic for -devel. Sure, the user might be *mistaken* about the
source of the problem, but we can solve that.

We have the BTS for that. And debian-user is a filter for problems
concerning unstable (they'll find out the broken packages and indicate him
against which package the problems needs to be reported)... so I agree it
was materiel for the user list.

With the number of contributors raising, the level of that list should
raise together.

Cheers,

Do we? I thought we only encourage them to subscribe to unstable to
read it and keep current on possible issues.

> Problems with the unstable archives are on-topic for -devel.


There's always tons of problems with packages in unstable not installing
etc. Unless you mean something else with `the unstable archive' I don't
see how asking here about every apt-get install <foo> failing will work
out - We've got dozens of people in #debian asking that everyday.

My understanding is that we do not support users running unstable with
their package interdependency problems - they should be able to fix
those themselves if they run unstable (at least, that is the current
stance in #debian, where we resolve those problems on a best-effort
basis contrary to stable/testing issues, dunno about the debian-user
list). They should file bugs for them if there aren't any of course,
and we support them in sofar as we expect the respective maintainers to
fix those issues once they are reported.

Just mailing debian-devel instead shouldn't be encouraged, IMHO, we'd
drown in those mails if everybody did that. Hrm, maybe we should have
this discussion on -project, m-f-t set.


cheers,

Michael

Sorry if I have unknowingly posting in the wrong place.

I really don't know about the rules, I firstly thought that unstable problem
should go to -devel, and so happens that is the only list I currently
subscribed to.

I know that things can be rough in unstable (hey, it's bumpy but it's a fun
ride), it's just that this one problem seems a bit interesting to me, thus I
mailed the list.

If this is turn out to be the wrong place to sent this mail, I won't do it
again. Please continue your efforts in improving debian for all of us.

Thanks for the support and attention.


all the best.

In *this* case however we will end up with a few uninstallable packages
in testing for a few days - currently working on fixing that during the
next days. (In case people ask about such issues in testing.)
