is a bit cryptic ... the description reads: Info: The given package appears to be a shared library -dev package, but the dependency on what seems to be a corresponding shared library package does not force the same package version. To ensure that compiling and linking works properly, and that the symlinks in the -dev package point to the correct files in the shared library package, a -dev package should normally depend on the exact same version of the shared library package.
Now we have libkpathsea-dev depends libkpathsea4 (= 2007.dfsg.2-7) and I still get these errors. libkpathsea-dev is at version 2007.dfsg.2-7. Can someone please explain what is wrong with that? pool/libkpathsea-dev_2007.dfsg.2-7_amd64.deb: new debian package, version 2.0. size 164858 bytes: control archive= 4043 bytes. 454 bytes, 13 lines control 4040 bytes, 61 lines md5sums 4933 bytes, 172 lines * preinst #!/bin/sh Package: libkpathsea-dev Source: texlive-bin Version: 2007.dfsg.2-7 Architecture: amd64 Maintainer: Debian TeX Maintainers <debian-tex-ma...@lists.debian.org> Installed-Size: 640 Depends: libkpathsea4 (= 2007.dfsg.2-7) Section: libdevel Priority: optional Homepage: http://www.tug.org/texlive Description: TeX Live: path search library for TeX (development part) This package contains the static library and header files for the Kpathsea[rch] library. ...
