Fink won't install clang 3.5.x due to dpkg bad consider #1216

@commandcontrolQ

Description

@commandcontrolQ

When trying to install clang35 (and its dependencies), for some unknown reason Fink always complains about unresolved dependencies with one package: (isl/isl2).

This issue appears to be coming from both Fink and dpkg:

  • Fink will always state one version of isl as a dependency if the other is installed
  • dpkg when considering replacing isl with isl2 (or vice versa) will always replace
  • Fink clearly does not like this at all and errors out

Steps to reproduce:

  1. On a system without clang 3.5.x, run fink install clang35

What should happen:

  • Fink will install clang 3.5.x's dependencies

What does happen

  • dpkg will either install isl over isl2 or install isl2 over isl and Fink will complain that dependencies could not be resolved.
