Bug#539578: [pbuilder] Non-functional if aptitude uninstallable (even in classic mode)

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.189
Severity: normal
At the moment aptitude in sid is uninstallable. This means that pbuilder
cannot update, and therefore cannot build. Furthermore, changing to the
"classic" (or any other) dependency handler makes no difference: putting
PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD=/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-[anything]
in ~/.pbuilderrc does not change the result:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
aptitude: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.9-6-4.7
Depends: libept0 (>= 0.5.26+b1) but it is not going to be
installed
E: Broken packages
So pbuilder simply doesn't work until aptitude becomes installable
again. Since aptitude is important, not essential, and does on occasion
become uninstallable, it'd be nice to have an easy way to work around
this rare-but-annoying situation.
This is related to, but not the same as bug #448334.
Cheers,
Jason Heeris
