my situation : i wanted to install pilot-link. it depends on tcl7.6 and tk4.2 but because i consider these packages obsolete, i grabbed the source and recompiled the whole thing with tcl/tk8.0. i installed it, and everything works fine.
but i didn't increase the version number. and now apt says : Checking system integrity...dependency error Correcting dependencies...ok Sorry, but the following packages are broken - this means they have unmet dependencies: pilot-link: Depends:tcl7.6 Depends:tk4.2 Press enter to continue. the version on my system doesnßt have this problem : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -s pilot-link Package: pilot-link Status: install ok installed Priority: extra Section: otherosfs Installed-Size: 799 Maintainer: Mark W. Eichin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 0.8.7-1 Depends: libc6, libreadlineg2 (>= 2.1-4), libstdc++2.8 (>= 2.90.26-1), ncurses3.4, tcl8.0, tk8.0, xlib6g (>= 3.3-5) so this information was taken from available : Package: pilot-link Priority: extra Section: otherosfs Installed-Size: 779 Maintainer: Mark W. Eichin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 0.8.7-1 Depends: libc6, libg++272, libreadlineg2 (>= 2.1-4), ncurses3.4, tcl7.6, tk4.2, xlib6g (>= 3.3-5) what do you think ? i guess it's a bug in apt - mixing the information from two sources. because i don't want to upgrade pilot-link, it should use the old information, not the new. dselect has no problems with this situation. btw : install does nothing beside the above error message. but it seems to return an ok : dselect moves its cursor to "config" ... andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
