Package: libldap-2.4-2 Version: 2.4.10-3 Severity: minor Trying to install a package built against Etch that depends on libldap2. Installing using --force-depends has the package working perfectly. Every time I run apt-get update it uninstalls the 3rd party package citing unmet dependancies. I tried using equivs to create a package that depended on the Lenny version of libldap and provided the older libldap2 as a fake package. This fails to install because libldap-2.4-2 conflicts with libldap2.
Perhaps having libldap-2.4-2 provide libldap2? If I understand the package manager this would still ensure that no other package providing libldap2 would be installable. Of course there may also be subtle reasons for things being as they are that I'm unaware of... -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26.3-ougun-8a (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libldap-2.4-2 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgnutls26 2.4.1-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libsasl2-2 2.1.22.dfsg1-23 Cyrus SASL - authentication abstra libldap-2.4-2 recommends no packages. libldap-2.4-2 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
