Obsoleted. Is that the meaning of this line?
xmms-vorbis: Depends: xmms but it is not going to be installed
Do you refer to this, in xmms (1.2.4-1)
/usr/share/doc/xmms/changelog.Debian.gz
* Added libogg0-dev and libvorbis0-dev to Build-Depends: because of the
new plugin. Added Conflicts: and Replaces: on xmms-vorbis, too.
I might just gone stupid lately, but it is unclear to me what that
means. So I'll just go on being stupid and ask another stupid question:
Did xmms-vorbis ceased to exist? That is, xmms-vorbis is no more?
xmms-vorbis is a former package? In thet case, why doesn't it say so?
If it still exists and conflicts with xmms, why doesn't it suggest
removing xmms, as installing xmms removed xmms-vorbis?
My opinion is that the message:
"xmms-vorbis: Depends: xmms but it is not going to be installed"
is plain stupid. I don't know what it might be meant to say, and I'm
trying very hard to understand it's meaning.
"... but it is not going to be installed" What? xmms or xmms-vorbis?
xmms is already installed, so that leaves xmms-vorbis as the candidate
to not being installed. Note: I used the deductive part of my brain,
all by myself, to do this analysis 8).
Cheers,
Cristian
