In sarge, the gnome meta package depends on synaptic, so this probably applies to a lot of desktop systems. In sarge, synaptic depends on libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.3, which is provided by apt. In etch, apt provides libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.11, which matches the depends of synaptic in etch. Adding CC to APT Development Team <deity@lists.debian.org> since I'm wondering whether the changes to apt really required dropping the provides of libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.3? For the future, could apt provide a real library, hence solving this problem for etch+1? Andrew V. |
