Bug#4240: mfdcfnt setup error
Package: gs
Version: 4.01-2
Config-Version: 3.53-4
Package: gsfonts
Version: 3.53-3
Interestingly enough, these dependencies (shown below) did not
surface during dselect's selection process, but waited until the
configuration process. I just ran dselect again to double-check,
and I see the dependency on gsfonts in the status window for gs, but
it doesn't appear in a conflicts screen (see further below).
Here's the output from dselect doing the setup. I had at first
thought that this problem was with mfdcfnt, but the maintainer of
mfdcfnt set me straight. There should be a "Setting up gs..."
prompt for gs.
Setting up mfdcfnt (1.0-1) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gs:
gs depends on gsfonts (>= 4.01); however:
Version of gsfonts on system is 3.53-3.
gs depends on libpaper (>= 1.0-1); however:
Package libpaper is not installed.
dpkg: error processing gs (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
In case it matters, although dpkg 1.2.13elf was selected to be
installed, it was 1.2.11 that ran the above.
