Hi! I am using Debian 3.1 with quite a lot of old packages.I tried to install Gaim 1:2.0.0+beta5-10 from within Synaptic. Synaptic told me that quite a few necessary packages would be removed during installation of Gaim, such as gdm, kdebase-bin, kdelibs, xserver-common, etc. Of course I cancelled installation. I dare not ignore Synaptic's prompt since these packages to be removed are essential to the system base.Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks!
Gaim 1:2.0.0+beta5-10 is part of Etch but not Sarge. If you install Gaim 1:1.2.1-1.4, you should have no problems.
If you really must have a later version of Gaim, you can compile Gaim from the source or upgrade to Etch.
