newt0.30 has been replaced by libnewt0. i can't even find newt0.30 on the
mirrors i use (http.us.debian.org mostly) anymore. Also, the only package
on the mirrors i find that depends on any newt besides libnewt0 is
boot-floppies, which IIRC is still being massively hacked on ;)

newt0.30 - a potato problem

1999-10-17 Thread Lindsay Allen

When I try to install the latest mc I get a problem with newt dependancies:

Depends: libc6, libc6 (= 2.0.7u-6), slang1 ( 1.3), slang1 ( 1.2.2-0)

So if I install mc along with slang1_1.3.9-1 I will to lose newt,
whiptail, modconf and pppconfig. 

Do we just wait for new packages to appear, or have I missed something?

This appears to have been fixed already. The latest whiptail (version
0.50-4) depends on libnewt0. modconf and pppconfig would only have been
removed because they depend on whiptail. newt can be safely removed (and
IIRC is no longer available).

Until it was fixed, the proper solution was to put slang1 and all programs
that depend on the 1.3.9 version on hold until all necessary dependancies
have been satisfied (an unnecessary dependancy being a program you have no
qualms over removing).

Thanks, Brad.  whiptail_0.50-4 still has not turned up on my mirror but
I'm glad it is in the works.  newt is still there.  Maybe I need a better
mirror, though it's fairly long pipeline out here to Western Australia.

Cheers,
Lindsay
