nis and netbase

[Douglas Eck <doug@idsia.ch>]

I just did an apt-get dist-upgrade to woody from potato

It seems that today at least, the existing version of nis
(nis_3.6-2.deb) won't play nicely with the latest
netbase (netbase4.0.5). netbase says it won't deal with
any nis <=3.6-2. 

>From dselect when I try to install nis;
 netbase conflicts with nis (<= 3.6-2)
 nis depends on netbase


Any ideas? I tried backing off to the potato netbase
but dselect kept trying to reinstall the later netbase. 

PS. Is there a command-line option on dpkg or apt-get
to print out dependancies to stdout?

Thanks,
