I have the Corel CDROM which has on it the WP 8.0. .deb package.
There is however a dependency problem on which I would like some advice.
The WP 8.0 package depends on only two other packages, libc5 and
xlib6g. The former is still available from the Debian archive; so I
was able to install it and its dependency ldso.
The other dependency, xlib6g, is the problem. This one was
created by Corel, and as far as I know it in now only available on the
same CDROM which has WP 8.0. I was able to add it to my sources.lst
by running apt-cdrom. I then ran a test install using aptitude.
Aptitude listed the six packages it would conflict with, none of
which I have or need. It also listed two dependencies, both of which
I had already installed for other packages. However, when I ran a
test installation with aptitude, it wanted to remove 175 other
packages, including most of the KDE packages.
I short, can I install xlib6g in such a way that it does not
remove 175 other packages I need and use? If so, how do I do it?
Assuming the xlib6g is a .deb file, I'd just try "dpkg -i xlib6g.deb".
