Please look at the condition on the versions. gcj-4.6-jre-lib 4.6.0-4 depends on gcj-4.6-base (>= 4.6.0-12). So, if a source package gives binary packages with the same version, such a dependency can never be satisfied since 4.6.0-12 > 4.6.0-4. > > (currently gcj-4.6-jre-lib is uninstallable because all the available > > versions are 4.6.0-4). > > If there's a bug with dependencies, file a ticket. Unless you're in testing. Why unless in testing?

So, it appears that there is a bug in the dependencies. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
