[Pbuilder-maint] Bug#448334: Should switch to pbuilder-satisfydepends-classic when aptitude is not installable

[Robert Luberda]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.174
Severity: wishlist


In current sid aptitude isn't installable, and pdebuild fails: 

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  aptitude: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.6-6-4.4 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
E: pbuilder-satisfydepends failed.

To get around the problem I set PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD to 
"/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-classic", but I think it would be
nice if pbuilder-satisfydepends could automatically switch to
pbuilder-satisfydepends-classic in this case.

Best Regards,
robert
