Hi! I tried dselect's ftp method last night for the first time. It's pretty nice. However, I tried to install the mosaic package and I got a dependency error. Mosaic needs libpng and zlib1. I have libgr installed. Although libgr does not conflict with these two other packages, they conflict with it. As libgr provides the functionality of zlib and libpng, I guess these should conflict, but shouldn't this be mutual? I mean shouldn't libgr conflict with zlib1 and ligpng? Also, couldn't there be a couple of virtual packages that these could provide (mutually exlisive) that things like mosaic could depend on instead of depending on the actuall packages? I'm not sure that libgr is a fully functional replacement for zlib1 and libpng, I'm just guessing. But I'd sure like to know what to do to get mosaic installed without having to force the depencies.
Thanks in advance. Richard G.
