2013-08-01prefer native arch over higher priority for providersColin Watson
The rational from the buglog: > The problem here is that the Priority field in one of the Packages files > is incorrect due to a mishap with reprepro configuration, […] the > amd64 version is Priority: standard but the arm64 version is Priority: > optional (and has a stray "optional: interpreters" field). > […] > However, Priority is a rather weak property of a package because it's > typically applied via overrides, and it's easy for maintainers of > third-party repositories to misconfigure them so that overrides aren't > applied correctly. It shouldn't be ranked ahead of choosing packages > from the native architecture. In this case, I have no user-mode > emulation for arm64 set up, so choosing m4:arm64 simply won't work. This effectly makes the priority the least interesting data point in chosing a provider, which is in line with the other checks we have already order above priority in the past and also has a certain appeal by the soft irony it provides. Closes: #718482
2013-07-11prevent MarkInstall of unsynced Multi-Arch:same siblingsDavid Kalnischkies
Multi-Arch: same packages can be co-installed, but need to have the same version for all installed packages (aka "siblings"). Otherwise the unsynced versions will fight against each other and the auto-install as wel as the problem resolver will later have to decide between holding the packages or to remove one of the siblings (usually a foreign) taking a bunch of packages (like the entire foreign setup) with them. The idea here is now to be more pro-active: MarkInstall will fail for a package if the siblings aren't synced, so we don't allow a situation in which a resolver has to decide if to hold or to remove-upgrade under the assumption that the remove-upgrade decision is always wrong and doesn't deserve to be explored (expect valid out-of-syncs of course). Thats a pretty bold move to take for a library which is used by different solvers so this check is done in IsInstallOk and can be overridden if front-ends want to.

Used to work until a certain (here unnamed) person came along and used the wrong operator causing low-priority packages to be sorted above high-priority packages while choosing a provider in commit 2b5c35c7bb915dbd46fefd7c79f05364ba22f93b from Nov 2011

2012-09-19* apt-pkg/pkgcache.cc:David Kalnischkies
- ignore negative dependencies applying in the same group for M-A:same packages on the real package name as self-conflicts

- clearly separate 'positive' and 'negative' dependencies and their upgrade-resolution tries in MarkInstall and especially don't treat Conflicts differently compared to Breaks here

- No Immediate configuration (see above) - Not automatically installed during dist-upgrade

2012-01-13factor out the detection of self-conflicts into Dep::IsIgnorableDavid Kalnischkies
2012-01-11* apt-pkg/depcache.cc:David Kalnischkies
- implicit conflicts (for multiarch) are supposed to conflict only with real packages, not with virtual providers
2011-11-23* apt-pkg/depcache.cc:David Kalnischkies
- prefer native providers over foreigns even if the chain is foreign The code preferred real over virtual packages and based on priorities. This is changed in so far that a real package from any arch is preferred over any virtual provider and if priorities doesn't help in choosing the best provider we choose it based on architectures

2011-05-17* Implement EDSP in libapt-pkg so that all front-ends whichDavid Kalnischkies
use the internal resolver can now be used also with external ones as the usage is hidden in between the old API * provide two edsp solvers in apt-utils: - 'dump' to quickly output a complete scenario and - 'apt' to use the internal as an external resolver

MarkInstall to be a bit more easy to read and possibily a bit faster - and add a small testcase for these situations to ensure the same behaviour

2011-03-25* apt-pkg/depcache.cc:David Kalnischkies
- remove pseudo handling leftover from SetReInstall

seperate IsModeChangeOk which checks sanity and dpkg holds
2011-03-08Remove the "pseudopackage" handling of Architecture: all packages forDavid Kalnischkies
Multi-Arch; instead, Arch: all packages only satisfy dependencies for the native arch, except where the Arch: all package is declared Multi-Arch: foreign. (Closes: #613584) This has the sideeffect that arch:all packages internally show up as coming from the native arch - so packages with the architecture "all" doesn't exist any longer in the pkgcache
2011-02-17* apt-pkg/depcache.cc:David Kalnischkies
- party revert fix in 0.8.11.2 which marked all packages as manual installed if the FromUser bit is set in the MarkInstall call. The default for this bit is true and aptitude depends on the old behavior so the package is only marked as manual if its not marked ("old" behavior) or if automatic installation is enabled - which aptitude disables always (see also #613775)
2011-02-11* apt-pkg/depcache.cc:David Kalnischkies
- mark a package which was requested to be installed on commandline always as manual regardless if it is already marked or not as the marker could be lost later by the removal of rdepends (Closes: #612557)
