  • Bug#265435: vimacs: Package uninstallable.

    From Andreas Metzler@1:229/2 to All on Fri Aug 13 10:20:11 2004

    Package: vimacs
    Version: 0.95-1.1
    Severity: serious

    / XX:> apt-get install vimacs
    Reading Package Lists... Done

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.

    Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
    the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
    that package should be filed.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    vimacs: Conflicts: vim (>= 1:6.3) but 1:6.3-013+2 is to be installed
    E: Broken packages

    same situation as a year ago, in the vim61 -> vim62 transition (see
    #196218).

    that time a NMU was required (by Stefano Zacchiroli
    <[email protected]>).

    a trivial patch (NMU candidate) is attached. [tested to this extent:
    executing /usr/share/vim/vim63/plugin/vimacs/vim and doing i^X^C exits
    vim, so it seems to be compatible.]
