Re: libneon25, or libneon26?

Sounds like you had something installed (at some point) that needed
libneon26, but that "something" has been removed again. So aptitude
tries to tidy up for you.
Is there any way to use what I have, or do I need to let aptitude
downgrade libneon?
Unless you need libneon26 for something else outside the package
management system (e.g. stuff you manually installed in /usr/local or
/opt), I'd say to let aptitude do its thing. It's very good at keeping
things tidy.
I understand how aptitude handles automatically installed packages.
Since I have always used aptitude on this box my question, I suppose, is
why is libneon26 still installed. When I uninstalled whatever was
depending on it aptitude should have uninstalled libneon26 at that
time. The only thing that I can see that SHOULD have created this
situation would be if the previous OOo was compiled for libneon26 and
the current OOo is compiled for libneon25. But I can't see why the
maintainers would use an older library in a newer compile of OOo. Does
anyone have any ideas on this?
