Turns out if one has used --force-depends to remove a package but leave packages that depend on it, one *must* use --allow-broken in order to get --print-uris to work at all. Otherwise: # fink install arts arts-shlibs arts-dev # dpkg -r --force-depends arts-shlibs dpkg: arts-shlibs: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you request: arts depends on arts-shlibs (>= 1.2.3-21). # apt-get --print-uris install arts-dev Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: arts: Depends: arts-shlibs (>= 1.2.3-21) but it is not going to be installed arts-dev: Depends: arts-shlibs (>= 1.2.3-21) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). > The new apt could go into fink anyway, no? Are there any risks in just > adding the new apt.info file to the unstable tree? I don't think so. I also did some unrelated cleanup to the apt package (fixed some manpages), so may as well get it all in there. Once we make sure it works, obviously:) dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
