Its an annoyance I also find with main Debian , I had some circular dependency issue with Jack/fftw3/ardour/ and it did have to do with package nameing changes. Also the strange application of strict policy that means Jack is split into program and library packs where there is no conceivable use of the program without the library (what clients could use the demon without using the library???) made it difficult to build my own the 'debian way' in order to satisfy the deps -- also they named the jack pack with a version number that does not reflect the version that is actually in the pack! Im sure it seemed like a good idea at the time.
However these annoyances are so far smaller than the annoyances I have experience with other major distros -RedHat, Suse, Slackware , but it's not jsut with the external MM repo but the main trunk too; its not quite as bad as RPM dependency-hell! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of krgn Sent: Tue 22/07/2008 8:43 PM To: p:d Subject: Re: [pure:dyne] from lenny to p:d, what am i missing ? hey rob!! those are broken because of debian multimedia changing names of packages. how annoying.
