Mahogany / thwarted by dselect
On Potato, I've downloaded and tried to install the (slink) deb package
of mail client Mahogany, which apparently has a dependency on
libstdc++2.9. "libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1" is in the listings in dselect --
but dselect/dpkg/apt don't see this as the correct item.
dselect [I]nstall leads to an appearance that Mahogany is about to be
-removed-, consequently, even as "libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1" is about to be
retrieved/installed. I tried D (set to directly requested), also H
(hold Mahogany in its current state) -- but the screen shows mahogany
will be both removed and held. :-) So I'm reluctant to proceed.
What to do...?
