Package: apt Version: 0.3.6 I can't seem to get apt-get to install libgmp2 (which replaces gmp2, due to package renaming) without it wanting to remove ssh as well (which depends on gmp2). However, libgmp2 says 'Provides: gmp2' in it's control file.
apt-get showpkg gmp2 says: Package: gmp2 Versions: 2.0.2-6(/var/state/apt/lists/sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk_Mirrors_ftp.debian.org_pub_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages)(/var/lib/dpkg/status), Reverse Depends: pike-image,gmp2 pike-gmp,gmp2 libgmp2,gmp2 gmp2-dev,gmp2 ssh-socks,gmp2 ssh,gmp2 telnetd98,gmp2 telnet98,gmp2 Dependencies: 2.0.2-6 - Provides: 2.0.2-6 - Reverse Provides: libgmp2 2.0.2-1 And apt-get showpkg libgmp2 says: Package: libgmp2 Versions: 2.0.2-1(/var/state/apt/lists/sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk_Mirrors_ftp.debian.org_pub_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages), Reverse Depends: libgmp2-dev,libgmp2 Dependencies: 2.0.2-1 - libc6 (0 (null)) gmp2 (0 (null)) gmp (0 (null)) Provides: 2.0.2-1 - gmp2 Reverse Provides: -- System Information Debian Release: potato Kernel Version: Linux downstairs 2.2.6 #4 Sat May 1 19:10:13 BST 1999 i686 unknown Versions of the packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.1.1-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and timezone ii libc6 2.1.1-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and timezone ii libstdc++2.9-gl 2.91.66-2 The GNU stdc++ library (EGCS version)
