The missing library in question will simply be gamin, instead of FAM.Gamin doesn't include a daemon, so you won't have any trouble with it not running.As gamin conflicts with fam, depending on gamin would in fact solve the problem for Debian packages, isn't it?I think it will. What's the advantage of FAM over Gamin?
The primary advantage, AFAIK, is that if you're using NFS, the FAM daemon on your NFS client will talk to the FAM daemon on your NFS server. Your FAM daemon will be notified if another NFS client modified the filesystem your NFS client has mounted.
