This is an odd dependency problem I've been seeing lately from slang1: lynx-ssl depends on slang1 (<< 1.3) bb depends on slang1 (<< 1.3) libggi-target-aa depends on slang1 (<< 1.3) urlview depends on slang1 (<< 1.3) gimp depends on slang1 (<< 1.3)
dselect reports this as a dependency conflict even though I have slang1 1.2.2-0.2 installed. Now, if I'm reading it correctly those packages are asking for a version of slang1 -less than- 1.3, which is what I have so where's the problem? Could it have something to do with the fact that my slang1 has the slightly odd version 1.2.2-0.2 instead of something like 1.2.2-2? Is that extra dot after the dash screwing up the version comparison? I realize this is an old version of slang1. I upgraded to 1.3.9 just now and get the same dependency problem (though I expected it this time). Which leads to the next question... how do I resolve this? Do gimp, et al really depend on an old version of slang1?
