&gt;<i> I do agree with you here, except that i'm trying to prevent this from
</I>&gt;<i> happening, because it's not something that can be easily fixed.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> 1. package A is backported into X
</I>&gt;<i> 1b. package A-foo is backported into X-foo (subpackage)
</I>&gt;<i> 2. package B is updated into Y at a later date
</I>&gt;<i> 3. package update Y has a new dependency A-foo
</I>&gt;<i> 4. person has X installed; but didn't install X-foo.
</I>&gt;<i> 5. person updates B into Y
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> result is that Y pulls in as new dependency A-foo
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> but X conflicts with A-foo
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> so the update does not happen, and you get an ugly error.
</I>Yes, that's what happens when you use backports. But this case can be solved. Person having
this problem will install X-foo from backports and case is probably closed (yes! this is
what you have to do if you are using backports). If not then s/he is still on his/her own as
we are dealing with backports. It's not something you can make bulletproof (and we really
shouldn't waste too much time on it).
