I assume that I'm not the only one who really > needs diald. netstd has been completely split into all those new packages, if you check the description it says to "Please remove it." diald is broken if it still depends on netstd (although some developers were complaining that the netstd maintainer didn't give proper warning, etc...) You can either put whatever is conflicting with it on hold, recompile diald from source with fixed dependencies until the maintainer uploads the official fix, or just wait. The bug has already been filed. -- finger for GPG public key. 16 Nov 1999 - new key generated, please stop using the old.
