The depends on Dynamips was bumped as features were introduced into dynamips since 0.2.8 that are used by GNS3... the depends is there for a good reason (and is hardcoded in the control as opposed to automatically filled, for this reason) CC'ing Aron (who uploaded the GNS3 backport for me) - would you be able to build and upload Dynamips? As a side note... I am the maintainer for both of these packages in Debian and work very closely with the upstream on development and bug-fixing as well as using them myself. Daniel
