dependency problem
I have a mostly potato system with a few newer packages installed. In
particular I have installed newer ALSA packages including
libesd-alsa0_0.2.22-3. The control info for this package indicates that
it "Provides: libesd0". Now when I run "apt-get upgrade" I get the
following error messages:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
gedit: Depends: libesd0 (>= 0.2.14-0.2)
gtop: Depends: libesd0 (>= 0.2.14-0.2)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
apt-get -f upgrade - wants to remove gedit and gtop.
Why doesn't libesd-alsa0 meet this dependency? Does it need version info
in the Provides line?
Both gtop and gedit run and even emit an occasional annoying noise. How
can I make apt-get happy?
