This is a RC problem. I assume it's RC because there is a package that needs to build-depend on both? So far I've found it to be annoying, because I have to swap libraries in and out while compiling different things, but not RC. > Question: Does it make sense for a -dev package in general, or (at > least) aalib1-dev or libnewt-dev, to depend on slang-utf8-dev|slang-dev? ITYM slang1-utf8-dev. No, it won't work. See bug #140808. > If not, should there be a separate libnewt-utf8-dev package? If not, > might it be possible to have aalib1-dev use slang-utf8-dev?
