Hello, I am not very experienced with the dpkg, so hopefully I will learn. Please forgive me if the solution should have been obvious to me. On a woody (i386) system I can't install the libgd-text-perl packet without having libgd1 and libgd-perl replacing libgd1-noxpm and libgd-noxpm-perl. I would have guessed that since libgd1-noxpm provides libgd1, and libgd-noxpm-perl provides libgd-perl there should be no problem. Here are the package dependencies (only the relevant ones): Package: libgd-text-perl Depends: perl (>= 5.6.0-16), libgd-perl (>= 1.33-2.1) Package: libgd-noxpm-perl Provides: libgd-perl Depends: libgd1-noxpm (>= 1.8.4-14), (...among others...) Package: libgd1-noxpm Provides: libgd1g, libgd1 My questions are: Why doesn't dpkg recognise the dependancies are met? What is the "correct" way to handle this situation? Is it an error in my apt configuration (which is the default installed with woody), or should I submit a bug? Please CC me since I'm currently not subscribed. Thanks!
