right.

Maybe it would help to have a link which gives a short explanation of how to read the overviews. The only possible meanings for the arrows are Depends/Pre-Depends or Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Indep/Build-Depends-Arch. Do you think it's important to inform about from which field a dependency is coming from? Or are you only saying that it is not obvious that the arrow is describing a dependency relationship? > Also a proper graph ouput with graphviz might be more understandable. dose3 can currenly output explanation graphs (in dot format) like this (rendered as png here): https://mister-muffin.de/p/Ay6S.png which in this case, explains this conflict: https://qa.debian.org/dose/debcheck/unstable_main/1437109207/packages/accessodf.html Do you have any suggestions of how this graph output can be improved? Then I can make the necessary improvements in dose3. Also, currently, only distcheck can output explanation graphs. But I will add the same functionality to buildcheck if you think it's useful. Thanks! cheers, josch
