[Bug 798461] [NEW] gdebi does not parse compound depends properly

[Tormod Volden]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdebi

gdebi refuses to install dpkg 1.15.5.6ubuntu4.5 and complains "Error:
Breaks existing package 'grub-common' dependency dpkg (<= 1.14.25)"

Apparently this is because grub-common has these deps:

Depends: base-files (>= 4.0.1~), dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info | dpkg
(<= 1.14.25), lsb-base (>= 3.0-6), libc6 (>= 2.8), libdevmapper1.02.1
(>= 2:1.02.20), libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), gettext-
base

so it looks like even though the first "dpkg (>= 1.15.4)" alternative is
satisfied, it borks on " dpkg (<= 1.14.25)".


Installing the package on the command line with dpkg -i works perfectly.
