Bug#35930: boot-floppies: potato dependencies problem: please update dependencies from newt0.25 to newt0.30, and allow lynx-ssl too
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.1.9
on potato package boot-floppies can't be installed, because it depends on
newt0.25 and only newt0.30 is available. There are dependencies problem
with lynx-ssl too.
boot-floppies should be revisited and/or rebuilt to depend on newt0.30
boot-floppies should be rebuilt to depend on lynx or lynx-ssl.
to install (just for submitting the bug) I had to type:
dpkg --force-depends -i boot-floppies_2.1.9.deb
don't look too much at my installed packages... I didn't install everything,
since anyways normal installation is broken.
btw, If you install lynx-ssl instead of lynx, boot-floppies complains. I had
to create a fake lynx package and to rebuild lynx-ssl, anyways I don't want
to do this for everything, and I can't know if boot-floppies can work
unmodified with newt0.30
