I broke down and got Debian on CD (InfoMagic Dec 96 issue). In trying to
install/upgrade, I ran into trouble 8-). Some of it was covered by the
messages from this list (hurray!) However, I'm not familar enough with the
programming tools to make an intellegent decision as to what to select in the
conflicts.
I'd like to suggest that an option be added to the conflict list of dselect.
This option would allow one to pull-up the Packages description on a
selected item. Thus, a newby like myself can make an informed decision and
resolve a conflict 8-) Another nice to have option for the conflict list -
flag an item for an override of the dependencies (along with appropriate
warnings 8-)
Example:
Ilu depends on python
python conflicts with python-base
(all python-* depend on python-base)
Question - Do I give up on ilu python in favor of python-* ? What's the
difference between python and python-base? Do I need to do an override on
ilu?
