I still wonder why aptitude can't fulfill the dependencies. If I have myapp=1.0 in stable and myapp=2.0 in unstable, and they depend on libmyapp=1.0 and libmyapp=2.0 with versioned dependencies, why does aptitude not just upgrade libmyapp when I ask it to upgrade myapp, whether libmyapp=2.0 is in stable or unstable or whatever. Debian's nice in terms of dependency handling, but this really only applies to stable. I wonder why we don't accept the fact that a lot of users run a total mixture, like a stable base, with packages from testing and unstable as needed, and start thinking that way? -- Please do not CC me when replying to lists; I read them! .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, and user `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
