So do I. (snip) > you should try aptitude. TBH, part of the problem for me was with apt. It would try to install packages I didn't have selected, and when I asked WTF dpkg was up to, I was told it was apt, and then when I'd switch to using dpkg-ftp instead the problem would go away. This happened a few times. Maybe it's something that's been fixed now, though - it's probably a year or two since I last tried. How does aptitude deal with alternative ways to satisfy dependencies? When dselect sees unfulfilled dependencies or conflicts, it shows me them and lets me sort them out as I please - I haven't worked out how to get similar behavior from aptitude yet. Maybe I should give it another try? -- Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
