Here is the problem: I am trying to install ssltelnet, but it depends on
libsocks4 (tho I dont see why). I already have socks5 on my system so
obviously I dont want to install libsocks4 over this. So I configured equivs
to provide libsocks4. No I have:
anoat:/usr/src# dpkg --status equivs
Package: equivs
Status: install ok installed
Provides: libsocks4
but when I run apt-get I get:
anoat:/usr/src# apt-get -s install ssltelnet
Updating package status cache...done
Checking system integrity...ok
The following extra packages will be installed:
libsocks4
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libsocks4 ssltelnet
So, did I miss something? How am I supposed to use equivs, I just put the
package name in /etc/equivs.conf and run debian/rules binary, right? and while
we're at this how can I tell equivs to declare other package versions (eg if I
want it to declare libc6 installed it doesnt change dependancies for packages
wanting libc6(>=2.1))?
Thank you.
