My question is this: Why is it that the gnome-apt package from the Potato, or Frozen, distribution is dependant on a package that doesn't exist and has never existed? I recently built several linux systems for some customers, and on the first two, gnome-apt installed fine, with no dependance errors. The last few came up with gnome-apt, a package that my customers need quite badly, having a dependance failure. It required libapt-pkg2.6. Yet, upon investigation, the libapt-pkg2.6 package does not exist, according to your web based package lookup tool. Is there any chance I can get this package, in whatever unstable state it exists? Or could I have the source code for this package, so that I can compile and install the library myself? I would really, really appreciate it. :) Thanx!

Jon,
I would say that you need to fill out a Bug report via the web site. At least
this way if the maintainer does have the package it is depends on, he could publish it, or point you to the solution.
