Not sure I get this unmet dependency
Sometimes I get confused by what the package system is telling me.
I'm not sure what's happening below.
On Sid trying to update Gaim:
$ apt-cache policy gaim
gaim:
Installed: 1:2.0.0+beta5-3
Candidate: 1:2.0.0+beta5-6
Ok, trying to upgrade:
$ sudo apt-get install gaim
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gaim: Depends: gaim-data (= 1:2.0.0+beta5-6) but 1:2.0.0+beta5-3 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
Looks like I could update gaim-data:
$ apt-cache policy gaim-data
gaim:
Installed: 1:2.0.0+beta5-3
Candidate: 1:2.0.0+beta5-6
Version table:
1:2.0.0+beta5-6 0
500 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
*** 1:2.0.0+beta5-3 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
But if I try it wants to remove gaim.
$ sudo apt-get install gaim-data

Hum, apt-cache show gaim shows gaim twice.
