[Bug 203638] Re: unable to install in Hardy

[Jonathan Marsden]

Is this really a bug?

apt-get said:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      selinux: Conflicts: apparmor but 2.1+1075-0ubuntu6 is to be installed

So it is saying that you already have apparmor installed, and it
conflicts with selinux, so it's stuck, you have asked it to do something
impossible.

aptitude presumably decided to remove the apparmor package and then
install selinux, which is of course what you really intended.  apt-get
doesn't guess like that, it just tries to do what you tell it.

Why is it a bug that apt-get refuses to install a package which would
conflict with something already installed on your system?

** Changed in: selinux (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
