Bug#61017: boot-floppies depend on a newer version of debiandoc-sgml than available in slink

[Hermano Cabral <orion@massey.ee.nd.edu>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.1.12


Hi,

I found this problem when trying to install boot-floppies in my slink
machine.  boot-floppies depend on debiandoc-sgml >= 1.1.29, but the
version of debiandoc-sgml available in slink is 1.1.12.

More details:

I'm using Debian slink, kernel 2.2.14, libc-2.0.105.so.

Here is the error message when running dpkg -i boot-floppies_2.1.12.deb:

Selecting previously deselected package boot-floppies.
(Reading database ... 61124 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking boot-floppies (from boot-floppies_2.1.12.deb) ...

I also checked the web page 
www.debian.org/Packages/stable/admin/boot-floppies.html, and it
basically says the same thing.

Thanks,
