Package: ding
Version: 1.7-3
On my up-to-date Debian testing installation (output of 'dpkg
--get-selections' is attached), 'apt-get install ding' fails [1]
because it cannot resolve the dependency 'tk8.4 | wish'. 'tk8.4'
cannot be installed because it is in conflict with other packages [2],
'wish' cannot be installed because it is provided by multiple packages
[3].
The correct (?) solution is to install 'tk' first (which works), then 'ding'.
Thanks,
Christoph
