Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: normal
I'm attempting to install xae but would only expect
psgml and it dependancies to be installed.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get install xae
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
eieio psgml sgml-base sgml-data speedbar
The following NEW packages will be installed:
eieio psgml sgml-base sgml-data speedbar xae
0 packages upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded.
Need to get 1746kB/2472kB of archives. After unpacking 17.5MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show xae
Package: xae
Version: 1.0beta6-2
Depends: xemacs21 | xemacs21-gtk | xemacs20 | emacsen, psgml | xemacs21, eieio
| xemacs21
Suggests: java-virtual-machine
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show psgml
Package: psgml
Version: 1.2.2-5
Depends: emacs20 | emacs21, sgml-base, sgml-data, fileutils (>= 4.0)
Recommends: sp (>= 1.3)
Suggests: debiandoc-sgml, linuxdoc-sgml, make
I do not have xemacs variants installed so I would expect apt to select
"emacsen, psgml" as the required dependancies for xae. You can also see
that eieio has also been selected.
Please let me know if I can assist further.
Thanks,
Anand
