When trying to upgrade my Cooker system to this package I get the
following dependancy errors:
error: failed dependencies:
libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.5 is needed by libgtop-1.1.5-0.1mdk
libgtop-1.1.so.3 is needed by gnome-utils-1.0.50-1mdk

Is it the intention that I should use --nodeps with this package or is
this a problem with packaging that should be resolved? There will be
trouble on my box if I do this upgrade. Right now I have the following
libraries installed:
/usr/lib/libgtop-1.1.so.3@
/usr/lib/libgtop-1.1.so.3.0.0*
/usr/lib/libgtop_common-1.1.so.3@
/usr/lib/libgtop_common-1.1.so.3.0.0*
/usr/lib/libgtop_names-1.1.so.3@
/usr/lib/libgtop_names-1.1.so.3.0.0*
/usr/lib/libgtop_suid_common-1.1.so.3@
/usr/lib/libgtop_suid_common-1.1.so.3.0.0*
/usr/lib/libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.3@
/usr/lib/libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.3.0.0*
and the new package will give me:
/usr/lib/libgtop-1.1.so.5
/usr/lib/libgtop-1.1.so.5.0.0
/usr/lib/libgtop_common-1.1.so.5
/usr/lib/libgtop_common-1.1.so.5.0.0
/usr/lib/libgtop_names-1.1.so.5
/usr/lib/libgtop_names-1.1.so.5.0.0
/usr/lib/libgtop_suid_common-1.1.so.5
/usr/lib/libgtop_suid_common-1.1.so.5.0.0
I think anything that is using the libgtop shared libraries is going to
break. If we take "gtop" as an example, it has the following libgtop
requirements:
libgtop-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtop-1.1.so.3 (0x403eb000)
libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.3 (0x403f2000)
libgtop_common-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtop_common-1.1.so.3 (0x403fc000)
Note that gtop is compiled to want libgtop-1.1.so.3 not libgtop-1.1.so so
when I _replace_ my libgtop*-1.1.so.3 libraries with libgtop*-1.1.so.5
libraries gtop will break no?
I am thinking that one cannot really upgrade libgtop without also
upgrading gnome-utils, gtop and gnome-core.
Thots?
