Hi, I would like to install the Zorp firewall (http://www.balabit.hu/en/news/) on Woody. The packages provided by the manufacturer require libglib1.3 and python-base, which are not available on woody. Instead of libglib1.3, we have libglib2.0-data (replacing libglib1.3) and python1.5 or python replacing pyhon-base.
I tried to create a package using equivs that requires the packages python and libglib2.0-data and provides python-base and libglib1.3. However, I'm not able to install that package, as it requires python and provides python-base, and python conflicts with python-base. I have never used equivs before, I just read about it as a way to resolve dependency problems. I gave it a try, but I see that the reported conflict is reasonable. Previously, I installed Zorp using dpkg --force-depends, but that resulted in apt complaints whenever I tried to use apt-get, so I had to uninstall it. Please let me know what the cleanest way to resolve the dependency problem is. Of course I could build Zorp from source, but it would be nice to take a more Debian road :-) TIA, Kofa Homepage at http://emil.alarmix.org/kofa/ - For PGP public key: send mail with the subject PGP Public Key Request -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
