Hi all, I am having some trouble resolving a package dependency.
I have util-linux 2.12p-4 installed (this is on unstable). It has a PreDepend on slang1a-utf8 (>> 1.4.9dbs-4). I do have slang1a-utf8 1.4.9-dbs8 installed, but this package has been removed from unstable. As far as I can tell, slang1a-utf8 has become a virtual package, provided by libslang1-utf8. So I would like to remove my slang1a-utf8 package and use libslang1-utf8 instead. But I can't figure out how to accomplish this with the usual package tools. If I try to do 'apt-get install libslang1-utf8' it wants to uninstall util-linux and a host of other important packages. And in aptitude if I try to remove slang1a-utf8 or install libslang1-utf8 it marks util-linux as broken and thus won't actually let me install/remove those packages. I don't suppose this is related to the unstable C++ migration? It looks to me like the correct configuration of packages is available (unlike some other cases), but I just can't figure out how to get there from here. I presume this is a situation that must have come up before, so probably there is a standard way to handle it and I just don't know what it is. Thanks in advance for any help. I will check back on this list but I would appreciate a personal cc on any replies if convenient. -- Nate Eldredge [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
