This is only problematic when you have a mix of stable and testing (which is not recommended) or testing or unstable, or something of that sort. At any rate this is definitely not an important issue, with a trivial resolution too (installing the right version of both components, - which should be relatively easy to understand from the above error message). > A versioned dependency would ensure that I had the correct versions of > things and everything would work together. Which package, in your opinion, should depend on which? Please note that qemu-system-x86 already recommends qemu-system-gui with proper version. Unfortunately the versioned Recommends does not work "right" in this case, basically the version there is ignored. Here, I'm not sure but it _smells_ like you also have APT::Install-Recommends set to false, which is also not recommended. Please also note that I definitely don't want to add a versioned Depends (or conflicts) on various qemu-system-* versus qemu-system-gui, to be able to test one or another version of particular qemu-system-foo in case some debugging or the like, - we can easily turn off gui while debugging but switch just the main executable. Thanks, /mjt
