Please look at what you quoted below: > This bug should be closed. > > > # apt-get install xemacs21 xemacs21-bin xemacs21-nomule xemacs21-support >... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I tell apt explicitely to install xemacs21-nomule and this should fulfill the dependency above. More general: Package: a Depends: x | y | z Then an apt-get install a z wants to install package "x" additionally to "a" and "z". I do still think that this is a bug in apt. cu Adrian -- Nicht weil die Dinge schwierig sind wagen wir sie nicht, sondern weil wir sie nicht wagen sind sie schwierig.
