Re: problem with libgnomeui32 1.0.9-3

the same problem, then it should probably be fixed. By the way, I should amend the comments I made at the time. I postulated that some package (I forget which) didn't depend on another; the reply pointed out that the dependency actually was there. My theory now is that the dependency didn't specify the correct version of the package (I remember it just named the package, not a specific version). Hope this helps, Stuart.
