I see from the cvs log that the libungif package used to have a
"Provides: giflib-bin" line in its -bin splitoff part and that this was
removed as "dangerous". Dave, why is this dangerous?

This missing Provides prevents me from upgrading my packages via apt-get
from the machine where I did the compiling. 

The problem is that imlib, which is required by quite a lot of other
packages, depends on imlib-shlibs which depends on giflib-bin. Now I
have libungif installed, and libungif-bin Replaces giflib-bin and
Conflicts with giflib-bin, but does not Provide giflib-bin (see above).
The end result is that imlib cannot be upgraded to version 1.9.10-6, at
least not via apt-get. I don't understand why "fink update-all" did not
fall over this on the other machine.
