Hi! I'm having a problem; I installed my own inews (mini-inews from Slackware, which posts directly to NNTP) to get uqwk to work (the inews that came with Debian requires, for some strange reason, a local news server, which I don't have). I updated the equivs package to indicate this.
Now, dselect and dpkg is content with this, and thinks everything is okay, but apt-get isn't. It complains: Checking system integrity...dependency error You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. Sorry, but the following packages are broken - this means they have unmet dependencies: uqwk: Depends:inews If I run 'apt-get -f install' it wants to install cnews and inews, which I don't want to do. # dpkg -s equivs Package: equivs Status: install ok installed [...cut...] Provides: netscape4, lynx, motif, www-browser, inews [...cut...] What should I do to get it to work? I can ftp packages by hand and install them with dpkg, but apt-get is nicer.
