Just a guess...It was violating Debian Policy since magicfilter is under "main" and gs-aladdin is under "non-free". 2.1.2. The main section ----------------------- Every package in "main" must comply with the DFSG (Debian Free Software Guidelines). In addition, the packages in "main" => * must not require a package outside of "main" for compilation or => execution (thus, the package may not declare a "Depends" or => "Recommends" relationship on a non-main package), * must not be so buggy that we refuse to support them, * must meet all policy requirements presented in this manual. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes." - unknown Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
