gconv-modules

[john gennard <joney@clara.co.uk>]

I've had a minor disaster trying to install qtcups. dselect
removed many packages but did not (as far as I can tell)
affect the important parts of Potato 2.2 r3. I'm trying to
work my way through packages removed and reinstall where
needed (if I can). 

One package removed was mozilla which will not install for 
the following reason:-
#apt-get install mozilla
        [depends on libgtk1.2]
#apt-get install libgtk1.2
        [depends on gconv-modules]
#apt-get install gconv-modules
        [... is a virtual pkg provided by:
         you should explicitly select one to install]

I don't understand the last message - I thought libc6
provided gconv-modules. At least it did with v.2.1.3-18,
but now to satisfy a dependency with the qtcups attempt
I have v 2.2.3-9.

What exactly does the error message imply, and how can
I get over the problem?

Grateful for any assistance.            John.
