[Bug 923525] Re: aptitude safe-upgrade attempts to install both "or" (|) dependencies

[Threepin]

Sorry, I cannot provide full output because at this point I have found a
way around the problem.  I have updated the system and probably could
not return it to that package state.

At the time I could not find any other dependency on apturl-kde, but
again I do not have the searches I ran or their output.

I suppose this dropped from my mind as it has not happened again.  Thank
you for your response to my report.

Title:
  aptitude safe-upgrade attempts to install both "or" (|) dependencies

Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In bash I used the aptitude safe-upgrade command to attempt to install
  neccessary updates to both an Xubuntu 10.04.3 LTS system with kernel
  2.6.31-22-generic and an Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS system with kernel
  2.6.32-38-generic.  Both systems use aptitude version
  0.4.11.11-1ubuntu10lucid1.  Amoung the upgrades was the package ubufox
  with the new version depending on the package xul-ext-ubufox.  That
  package was therefore marked for automatic installation.  It depends
  on the package apturl or the package apturl-kde.  The package apturl
  was already installed but the package apturl-kde was not.  Aptitude
  wanted to install the package apturl-kde and its dependants which
  numbered in the seventies.  The command aptitude full-upgrade did not
  attempt to install the package apturl-kde or its dependants.  In
  visual mode aptitude also did not attempt to install the unnecessary
  packages.

  I expect the safe resolver to be more conservative than the full
  resolver.  I expect it to avoid installing and removing packages in an
  upgrade.  I expect to be able to use the safe resolver without having
  to check if each package is actually needed.  I expect the safe
  resolver to parse the "or" symbol (|).
