Bug#1082750: qemu-system-misc: uninstallable in unstable: depends on opensbi (>> 1.5.1-1)

Show all headers | View raw

Package: qemu-system-misc
Version: 1:9.1.0+ds-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
X-Debbugs-Cc: opensbi@packages.debian.org

qemu-system-misc version 1:9.1.0+ds-4 has dependencies that include:

    opensbi (>> 1.5.1-1)

where ">>" denotes "strictly greater than". This dependency is not
satisfiable by the opensbi (= 1.5.1-1) in testing/unstable.

Did you perhaps mean (>= 1.5.1-1~), which would be satisfiable by the
current testing/unstable opensbi and also by backports of it, while
not being satisfiable by some hypothetical other distro's forked packaging
1.5.1-0hypothetical1, which might not contain the necessary symlinks?

(I also wonder whether the architecture-specific external firmware
for qemu-system-misc should be Recommends rather than Depends, because
unlike e.g. qemu-system-x86, there's no particular common theme to the
architectures supported by -misc - for example it can presumably still
emulate a s390x machine perfectly well without needing riscv64 firmware,
and vice versa.)

Thanks,
    smcv
