[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#483338: sbuild: ~*=PROVIDED=*= hack breaks build-conflicts

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.57.3-1

Hi,

With the sbuild version from git master, versioned build-conflicts on
provided packages cause builds to abort.

This should probably be special-cased.

Example packages:
came:
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove linux-kernel-headers which isn't installed.
Checking correctness of source dependencies...
After installing, the following source dependencies are still unsatisfied:
linux-kernel-headers(inst ~*=PROVIDED=*= << conflicted 2.5.999-test7-bk-10)
Source-dependencies not satisfied; skipping came

dovecot:
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove linux-kernel-headers which isn't installed.
Checking correctness of source dependencies...
After installing, the following source dependencies are still unsatisfied:
linux-kernel-headers(inst ~*=PROVIDED=*= <= conflicted 2.5.999-test7-bk-17)
Source-dependencies not satisfied; skipping dovecot

mysql-gui-tools:
Checking correctness of source dependencies...
After installing, the following source dependencies are still unsatisfied:
libmysqlclient-dev(inst ~*=PROVIDED=*= << conflicted 4.1)
Source-dependencies not satisfied; skipping mysql-gui-tools

t38modem:
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove linux-kernel-headers which
isn't installed.
Checking correctness of source dependencies...
After installing, the following source dependencies are still
unsatisfied:
linux-kernel-headers(inst ~*=PROVIDED=*= << conflicted
2.5.999-test7-bk-14)
Source-dependencies not satisfied; skipping t38modem

transfig:
Checking correctness of source dependencies...
After installing, the following source dependencies are still
unsatisfied:
gs-esp(inst ~*=PROVIDED=*= << conflicted 8.50)
Source-dependencies not satisfied; skipping transfig
