changing/correcting dependencies
Hello,
somehow there's a problem with X11R6 dependencies in Debian 1.2.
Trying to install gimp-smotif dselect says, that X11R6 is needed
but doesn't seem to be available. Of course I installed it and it
even works :)
This should be a problem in xbase, I think. I tried to correct it
by inserting
Provides: X11R6
for the xbase package in /var/lib/dpkg/available and /var/lib/dpkg/status.
Now gimp installs fine.
My question: Is there any caveat in doing this? Should there be any other
changes made to the database?
BTW, is there a possibilty to use 'force' in dselect for programs that
have to be configured? I was able to install gimp using 'Q' after selecting
it, but it couldn't be configured.
Thanks,
Ulf
