Package: apt Hi,
I have wmaker 0.60.0-4 installed, and have now tried to install slink's version of wmsound. Here's what APT said: # apt-get install wmsound Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: wmsound: Depends: wmaker (>= 0.20.2-2) but it is not installed E: Sorry, broken packages Yeah, right. But, dpkg explained it: # dpkg -i wmsound_0.7.5-4.deb dpkg: regarding wmsound_0.7.5-4.deb containing wmsound: wmaker conflicts with wmsound (<= 0.9.3-1) wmsound (version 0.7.5-4) is to be installed. dpkg: error processing wmsound_0.7.5-4.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing wmsound Errors were encountered while processing: wmsound_0.7.5-4.deb Please fix APT to display correct explanation of the conflict. TIA! -- enJoy -*/\*- don't even try to pronounce my first name
