19:29 < hrw> 4 packages provide umbaumba but if tymtym depends on umbaumba then ipkg find all providers and does not
select any
19:30 < RP> I've also been seeing weird ipkg dependency bugs recently :-(
19:30 < pb_> That would be OK, I guess. I feel a little bit queasy about the prospect of someone deciding to create
linux-2.6_2.6.13.bb and losing, but I gues one can't legislate for every eventuality.
19:30 < mreimer> RP: there were problems with 152; make sure you're using 153
19:30 < pb_> heh
19:30 < hrw> mreimer: 153 has problem too
19:31 < pb_> hrw: the specific behaviour you mentioned is by design; ipkg has always done that.
19:31 < hrw> pb_: so there is no possibility to install 'tymtym' then? I consider it a bug rather then feature
19:32 < pb_> hrw: if "tymtym" is a virtual, yes. You must install one of the concrete providers.
19:32 < kergoth> hrw: ipkg has no idea which one you want. if it was to install one without user intervention, _that_
would be a bug.
19:32 < hrw> pb_: ok - so the bug is in recommends: now
19:32 < pb_> right, what kergoth said.
19:33 < hrw> ok
19:33 < pb_> ipkg doesn't have any way to choose between four equally attractive (to it) possibilities.
19:33 < pb_> it would be unacceptable for it to just pick one at random.
19:33 < hrw> is there any way to add priorities?
19:33 < pb_> no, but that is an interesting idea
19:34 < kergoth> i'd rather just have an easier way for the user to indicate his preferences
19:34 < kergoth> "look, i like X better than Y. remember that."
