After upgrading my box with apt-get I find that WINE no longer works. Apparently apt-get allowed it to be fetched but the install could not follow through because a file it depends on, libgl1 was not available. The version of WINE to which I refer is wine 0.0.990923-1
I note from the Debian web site that it depends on: libgl1 (NOT AVAILABLE) GNU C Library: Shared libraries and timezone data How on earth has this happened? Surely apt is cleverer than this? Because I (stupidly) cleared out my apt archives I no longer had a previous version to fall back on. I have since managed to find the older version. Any idea how this can happen? Surely if a file depends on another file, and that other file is not available, apt would not attempt to fetch and install it? -- Phillip Deackes Debian Linux (Potato)
