Generally it is not long before the required dependencies are upgraded to suit the new package. I have a similar situation with efax-gtk at the moment. In a few days, the situation will be rectified. When you have a number of personalities working on different aspects of the same situation, and some have more time, or a simpler process to implement than others to achieve their particular end result, a coordinated, block release is not always possible. At least, this is my understanding of the situation. Regards, David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
