[Caml-list] Troubles with OPAM

[Caml-list] Troubles with OPAM

Hi, i'm using OPAM since 2 years.
I recently changed my distribution (now I am on Debian and XFCE).
Opam installs easily.
But on each update/upgrade try to reinstall every package. (includes
base-threads, base-unix). And when I'm trying to install, for example,
merlin, after an Eliom installation, Opam try to reinstall ocamlfind 1.5.3
but it could'nt.
Do you have any idea? (I have already try to rm -rf .opam and aptitude
purge opam to reinstall but the troubles stay).

Thanks a lot.

Xavier.

Dear Xavier,
     I would suggest you open a ticket on 

        https://github.com/ocaml/opam

providing detailed informations on a run that you consider is going
wrong (including opam version, the command line used, the CUDF dump
obtained with --cudf etc.)

As a quick suggestion, try anyhow just a simple 
  apt-get install aspucd
and see if anything changes.

I hit this bug too, some problem with newer dose used by Debian: https://github.com/ocaml/opam/issues/1683

The workaround for now is to install the beta packages which work with the newer dose:
http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:ocaml&package=opam

Hopefully once opam 1.2.0 is out of beta the official Debian package can be updated too.
