The upstream version is the version number used by whoever distributes the original package and the Debian revision is the version of the packaging for this version of the upstream source. Epochs are used to ensure that newer versions of the package have higher version numbers than older ones if something about the numbering wouldn't do that otherwise (eg, upstream changes version numbering schemes). The upshot is that the above depends line specifies a dependancy on exactly version 1:1.1.3-5 but that's not the version that's installed and apt can't find the correct version. which case it'd be outside the range needed by the APPARENTLY OUTDATED 1.1.3-1.1.5 -dev module. Yes, the -dev package in Potato is outdated WRT the package you're trying to install. i'll keep trying with the hopes that you're right and that if you're right, that someone updates the links soon. (or should i file a bug? You'll have to wait until Woody is released. The version of zlib in Potato is 1:1.1.3-5, but you seem to have managed to install 1:1.1.3-9. You should probably go to one of the FTP sites and manually download and install (with dpkg -i) the potato version of the zlib1g package. You could file a bug, but unless you can point out an actual current error in one of the mirrors it's unlikely to be worth bothering. If there was a mistake it's probably fixed now. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFShttp://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/

Actually, that means zlib1g-dev needs zlib1g, epoch 1, version 1.1.3, Debian release 5 to install. However, the only available zlib1g is epoch 1, versino 1.1.3, Debian release 9. Somehow you got a newer version of zlib1g than is in potato. You should manually retrieve the potato version of zlib1g and use dpkg --force-downgrade to correct it. -- sparky

zlib1g vs zlib1g-dev (potato)
i've got two debian boxes recently fsckd and partitioned and installed via potato ISO cd roms. on one, i downloaded the vpnd tarball and did # ./configure # make and voila, no troubles. [vpnd from http://www.crosswinds.net/~anstein/unix/vpnd.html ] on the other debian box, i get # ./configure Please install the package zlib 1.1.3 or later. You can find it at: http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/ If your system has libz.so installed please make sure that the zlib-devel rpm is installed, too. Building vpnd with runtime compression disabled. # apt-get install zlib1g-dev Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: zlib1g-dev: Depends: zlib1g (= 1:1.1.3-5) but 1:1.1.3-9 is to be installed my /etc/apt/sources.list are set to potato: #deb file:/cdrom stable main deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/ potato/non-US main contrib non-free 1) why would zlib1g-dev and zlib1g versions not match? 2) what method could i have implemented to get one debian box to compile vpnd, but not the other? tres bizarre.
