In Debian GIS is maintaining some metapackages. You get their names via $ LANG="" apt-cache search gis- | grep ^gis gis-gps - GPS related programs gis-osm - OpenStreetMap related programs gis-statistics - Statistics with geographical data gis-tasks - Debian GIS tasks for tasksel gis-web - Present geographic information using web features gis-workstation - Geographic Information Systems (GIS) workstation and you can have an overview about their content at http://blends.alioth.debian.org/gis/tasks You can simply install the packages and get all their dependencies in one rush. In case you might observer the following things: 1. Packages in ubuntugis are missing in Debian 2. Packages you are looking for are inside Debian but are missing in the metapackages dependencies 3. You are considering the dependencies of the metapackages as not fitting your purpose properly ... just let us know. Kind regards and have fun with Debian GIS Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
