Earlier today, I upgraded galeon by doing:
# apt-get install galeon
and it pulled in about 12 other packages needed for that package
to work, e.g.:
$ dpkg -s galeon | grep Depends
Depends: gconf (>= 1.0.1), gdk-imlib1 (>= 1.9.10-3), libart2 (>= 1.2.13-7),
libaudiofile0, libc6 (>= 2.2.3-1), libdb3 (>= 3.2.9-1), libesd0 (>= 0.2.22-4) |
libesd-alsa0 (>= 0.2.22-4), libgconf11 (>= 1.0.1), libgdk-pixbuf2 (>= 0.11.0-2),
libglade-gnome0, libglade0, libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libgnome-vfs0 (>= 1.0.1),
libgnome32 (>= 1.2.13-7), libgnomesupport0 (>= 1.2.13-7), libgnomeui32 (>= 1.2.13-7),
libgnorba27 (>= 1.2.13-7), libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.10-1), liboaf0 (>= 0.6.5), liborbit0 (>=
0.5.8), libpanel-applet0 (>= 1.4.0.4-3), libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2, libxml1, oaf (>=
0.6.5), xlibs (>> 4.0.3), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.3), mozilla-browser (>= 2:0.9.1)
I guess slack deals with this by packing all these things into a
single .tgz package.
