Johan,
oh, that might be it - what you are saying is that my application has to be in
the repository for Application Manager to pull its dependencies from a pool of
all available packages it knows about as of last refresh. And because I try to
install from a file, it doesn't try to resolve dependencies.
I can definitely try that - is there a way to create a debian repository with 1
package from a folder (I'm on fedora core 6)? I can then add the local
repository to the list and try again.
thanks,
--Vlad
