Bug#649190: pbuilder: create fails with a package with two versions in a distribution

[Teemu Ikonen]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.203
Severity: important

Running 'pbuilder --create' fails after debootstrap:

I: Distribution is sid.
I: Building the build environment
I: running debootstrap
/usr/sbin/debootstrap
[...]
I: debootstrap finished
I: copying local configuration
I: Installing apt-lines

Building dependency tree...
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 perl : Depends: perl-modules (>= 5.14.2-5) but 5.12.4-6 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
I: unmounting /var/cache/pbuilder/ccache filesystem
I: unmounting dev/pts filesystem
I: unmounting proc filesystem
I: cleaning the build env
I: removing directory /home/ikonen/tmp/pbuilder/build//10865 and its
subdirectories

Indeed there seems to be two versions of perl-modules in sid at the moment:

$ apt-cache policy perl-modules
perl-modules:
  Installed: 5.12.4-6
  Candidate: 5.12.4-6
  Version table:
     5.14.2-4 0
        500 http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
 *** 5.12.4-6 0
        990 http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ testing/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

IMHO one should be able to create pbuilder roots at any time, hence severity
important. Not sure if the bug is in the archive or in pbuilder though.

Best,

Teemu
