Severity: normal

hey,

after upgrading ntfs-3g, i can no longer install testdisk...:

# apt-get install testdisk
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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
testdisk : Depends: libntfs-3g851
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

testdisk + ntfs-3g from testing, installs fine. so maybe its an error
with newest ntfs-3g package in sid (?) or maybe libntfs-3g851 shouldn't
be in the dependencies of testdisk (?) feel free to reassign if you
think so,

thanks,
d.

hey all,

it seems latest ntfs-3g in sid, has a new libntfs-3g853 and wants to
remove testdisk which depends on previous virtual package libntfs-3g852.
aptitude reports :
testdisk : Depends: libntfs-3g852 which is a virtual package.

another package affected from this transition (in my system) is partclone:
partclone : Depends: libntfs-3g852 which is a virtual package.

if these should be separate bug reports, plz let me know and i will file
new ones.

thx,
dimitris.
