Aptitude's "why" command is very helpful for this kind of situation (you can use it even if you prefer to let apt-get handle the actual installs): $ aptitude why imagemagick libqt4-core i imagemagick Depends libmagick10 i A libmagick10 Depends libdjvulibre21 (>= 3.5.20) i A libdjvulibre21 Recommends djvulibre-desktop i A djvulibre-desktop Recommends djview4 | djview3 | djview | evince i A djview4 Depends libqt4-core (>= 4.3.4) It seems that you have to make sure that "recommends" are ignored (I have no idea how apt-get treats recommendations these days) or maybe it will be enough if you install djview3 manually before you install imagemagick. (The "|" means that either package will satisfy the dependency and only djview4 seems to depend on libqt4-core.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
