Can't upgrade libqwt-dev

[dernier_recours]

Hi

There is always an update asked for libqwt-dev in the update manager. It is downloaded at each upgrade, but never installed. Here is what it looks like:

Hi man could you please provide me the information in english because i am unable to understand it.

Thanks.

Sorry. There it goes. It presents twice the same operation to show that the upgrade that looked successful is indeed not done.

[raja.genupula]

have you checked the same thing again by restarting your PC.?

[dernier_recours]

Yes. This problem is active since last week or so. I'm on 11.10.

[raja.genupula]

zcat -f /var/log/dpkg.log* | grep "\ install\ " | sort


give me the output of that and then try to look for same package in synaptic and try to install from there

[dernier_recours]

This is what I got.

2011-10-28 15:12:26 install libqwt-dev <none> 6.0.0-1ubuntu1

I was receiving the same error after upgrading to oneiric 64bit. As this is a development package and I am not developing an application that would need those libraries, I chose to remove it. Have not noticed any problems as a result.

This is still a problem. I have libqwt6 and libqwt-dev installed:

cmb@home:~$ aptitude seach qwt

libqwt-dev appears to be at the latest version:

cmb@home:~$ aptitude show libqwt-dev
Package: libqwt-dev

...but every 'upgrade' issued to aptitude wants to upgrade libqwt-dev again:

cmb@home:~$ aptitude upgrade -s
The following packages will be upgraded:
libqwt-dev
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/103 kB of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]

Is there a version misrepresentation in aptitude?

I'm experiencing the same problem and it seems to be having an impact on my not being able to update to the most current version of XASTIR in the repository.
I have a 32 bit 11.10 on a Dell.

[jiapei100]

I've got exactly the same problem as discussed above.


Cheers

[popitto]

hello,
anyone found a solution for this problem?
i'm having the same issue described in this thread :confused:
i'm on ubuntu 12.04 32bits !

cheers,

[axeoth]

I have the same issue on Ubuntu Precise.

This has been reported here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qwt/+bug/921430

[niccolo.canestrari]

the error is in the package, the control file line 9 is:

Replaces: libqwt5-qt4-dev (<< 6.0.0-)

it should be

Replaces: libqwt5-qt4-dev (<< 6.0.0-1)

A "1" is missing, it is clearly a typo.

[Introspection]

How can we correct this typo?
