I consider this issue resolved, so don't worry about it. I am just
curious what libgtkspell0 is in relation to python-gtkspellcheck, if
any, and why removing a lib I *just* installed would remove so many
packages that pre-existed it.
I just realized. In all likelihood libgtkspell0 was already installed
on my laptop. Just because I copied and pasted the apt command doesn't
mean it would have installed it, duh. I didn't pay enough attention to
the terminal because I was cooking supper, so it could have already been
"at the latest version" for all I know.
Still curious as to the relationship between libgtkspell0 and
python-gtkspellcheck, but it's not a Zim question, so I'll let it drop.
Thanks for all the time,
Sure. My wild guess for all the preceding package mess and dependency
is: major version upgrades. Don't get me wrong, I *love* that Debian
and derivatives allow and support major version upgrades, but there is a
cost. Over time, package cruft and odd dependencies do seem to pile up
and GUIs and GUI tools & libraries seem to make this far worse. Oh
well, that's still much better than "DLL hell" or having to do clean
installs every major version.
Later,
JP
