rather fix packages in extras-devel repository and other people can benefit from it:
* add "Provides: adduser" to busybox-power (so packages which depends on adduser will work with busybox-power)
* remove dependency on mp-fremantle-generic-pr from packages (it is really useless)
HAM does not support what apt-get, so there is no possible fix (only one is to patch HAM to understand holding...)

I know, but I read that when you know what you do (hmm, did/do I? ) then you may solve some dependency problems this way.
OK, I will inform iDont (but that would mean a lot of provides to edit for him ).
For mymenu I do not see any active maintainer anymore. I believe he added mp to force users to upgrade to PR1.3. Maybe mymenu does not work for older releases? Are there really people out there using PR < 1.3???

I guess for mp-fremantle-generic-pr we/one could use equivs to create a dummy package. This way you effectively replace the package without breaking the packaging system (which is what you do by editing dpkg status -- but kudos to you for doing that

This can break other parts... And when you change it then apt/dpkg can see that you have different version installed as in apt repo (version string same but control data different) and they can provide "update"... Really do not edit dpkg status file if you do not know what are you doing!
I think that extras-devel has own fremantle1.3 distribution... And I think that in extras-devel & extras-testing you do not have to care about old PR 1.2 (and 1.1...) releases.

And please do not start creating new dummy packages for fixing our totally broken packaging system. It will lead to even big hell as it is now.

...
a critical component, mp-fremantle-generic-pr 21.2011.38-1.
I guess I don't want to remove this component. Now what?
One is mymenu (dependency mp-fremantle-generic-pr) and other is tor (dependency adduser).
I already hold package mymenu
How to disable that? (as apt-get upgrade recognizes the hold!)
And other question for tor is:
I manually edited dpkg status file to have here "adduser | busybox-power" instead of "adduser" only. But apt-get wants me to upgrade this even latest version is installed. I do not want to put it on hold. Is there any other possibility?
Or is editing dpkg status not allowed at all?
