Bug#168499: dpkg: fallen in same dpkg --no-act trap as Dan

[Tomas Pospisek <tpo_deb@sourcepole.ch>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.9
Followup-For: Bug #168499

I've just fallen into the same dpkg --no-act trap as Dan. I thought I'd
check whether gnucash would install on my system - after all dpkg --help
says:

    --no-act                   Just say what we would do - don't do it

OK:

    tpo2:/tmp# dpkg -i --no-act gnucash_1.7.8-1_i386.deb
    (Reading database ... 141256 files and directories currently installed.)
    Preparing to replace gnucash 1.6.8-2 (using
    gnucash_1.7.8-1_i386.deb) ...

looks good so...
    
    tpo2:/tmp# dpkg -i gnucash_1.7.8-1_i386.deb
    (Reading database ... 141256 files and directories currently installed.)
    Preparing to replace gnucash 1.6.8-2 (using gnucash_1.7.8-1_i386.deb) ...
    Unpacking replacement gnucash ...
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gnucash:
     gnucash depends on bonobo (>= 1.0.22); however:
       Version of bonobo on system is 1.0.20-2.1.
     gnucash depends on libbonobo2 (>= 1.0.22); however:
       Version of libbonobo2 on system is 1.0.20-2.1.
     ...

:-(
