Hello,

I have included the opera.com repository to install the opera browser.
deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ sid non-free

No I wonder that the opera package wants to be updated, but to the same version as already installed!? Why does this happen?

      Code:

# apt-cache policy opera
opera:
  Installed: 11.51.1087
  Candidate: 11.51.1087
  Version table:
     11.51.1087 0
        500 http://deb.opera.com/opera/ sid/non-free amd64 Packages
 *** 11.51.1087 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

apt-get -duV -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes dist-upgrade
...
   opera (11.51.1087 => 11.51.1087)
...

Thanks,
arwa

11.51 is the latest version

Where is it telling you that it wants to be upgraded ?

While the versions have the same version number apt detects them as different and prefers to download and install the version coming from a repository over the locally installed one.

This is to help with rebuilds of packages with the same version number - it's discouraged, but not too uncommon.

That they are different is concluded from different dependencies and similar stuff. I can tell you what exactly is the bugger if you post the the output of 'apt-cache show opera -a'. So, until further notice, this is a feature, not a bug.

Thanks, as i guessed: Your installed version depends on libglib2.0-0 >= 2.24.0 while the one currently online depends on libglib2.0-0 >= 2.16.6

Opera Company properly decided that it would be a good idea to decrease the version-constrants to allow users with older debian versions (aka debian oldstable) to install the opera package.
