Britney, the debian testing updater script This is the script that updates the testing_ distribution. It is executed each day after the installation of the updated packages. It generates the `Packages' files for the testing distribution, but it does so in an intelligent manner; it try to avoid any inconsistency and to use only non-buggy packages. For more documentation on this script, please read the Developers Reference.

Check if a package can be installed satisfying the conflicts This method checks if the `pkg` package from the `arch` architecture can be installed (excluding `broken` packages) within the system `system` along with all its dependencies. This means that all the conflicts relationships are checked in order to achieve the test co-installability of the package. The method returns a boolean which is True if the given package is co-installable in the given system.

Read the list of binary packages from the specified directory
The binary packages are read from the `Packages_${arch}' files
within the directory specified as `basedir' parameter, replacing
${arch} with the value of the arch parameter. Considering the
large amount of memory needed, not all the fields are loaded
in memory. The available fields are Version, Source, Pre-Depends,
Depends, Conflicts, Provides and Architecture.
After reading the packages, reverse dependencies are computed
and saved in the `rdepends' keys, and the `Provides' field is
used to populate the virtual packages list.
The dependencies are parsed with the apt.pkg.ParseDepends method,
and they are stored both as the format of its return value and
text.
The method returns a tuple. The first element is a list where
every item represents a binary package as a dictionary; the second
element is a dictionary which maps virtual packages to real
packages that provide it.
