Trouble? Contact listmaster@lists.debian.org There're real troubles: for example look at sodipodi; it uses libglade-gnome0, so I need libxml-dev (libglade-gnome0-dev depends on it), but now I need to compile it against libxml2 to close some bugs, but I can't because libxml2-dev conflicts with libxml-dev.
