Package: libgtk2.0-0 Version: 2.24.20-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Upgrading to libgtk2.0-0 on a legacy system wedges apt due to an undeclared dependency on a newer version of dpkg (1.17?). It is traditional, if not release critical, for inter-package dependencies to be explicitly declared. A "Pre-Depends" will solve the problem for the many users who will soon stumble onto this issue due to wide-spread dependencies on gtk2. There are other solutions, but an unstated dependency on someone else globally fixing the problem is not really one of them. See bug #714409 and bug #709443 for the same problem in gtk3 and texinfo, respectively. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39.1-linode34 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libgtk2.0-0 depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.28.0-1 ii libc6 2.17-92 ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6 ii libcomerr2 1.42.4-3 ii libcups2 1.6.3-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.10.2-2 ii libfreetype6 2.4.2-2.1 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.3-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.28.2-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.36.4-1 ii libgnutls26 2.12.20-1 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.10.1+dfsg-1 ii libgtk2.0-common 2.24.20-1 ii libk5crypto3 1.10.1+dfsg-1 ii libkrb5-3 1.10.1+dfsg-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.32.5-5+b1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.32.5-5+b1 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.32.5-5+b1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.1-1 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-1 ii libxcursor1 1.1.7-4 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.4-1 ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.1-5 ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-4 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.4.1-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.1-3 ii multiarch-support 2.13-10 ii shared-mime-info 0.70-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 Versions of packages libgtk2.0-0 recommends: ii hicolor-icon-theme 0.12-1 pn libgtk2.0-bin <none> Versions of packages libgtk2.0-0 suggests: pn gvfs <none> pn librsvg2-common <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
