There's already a bug reported against elinks package. Bug number: #565999.
But I'm still wondering what caused this dependency issue.
Before this problem shew up, elinks depends on libtre4. libtre4 is installed
and elinks works fine. I checked elinks with "aptitude show elinks", and it
says it still depends on libtre4, not libtre5. I'm sure elinks has not been
updated for a long time. So, what is changed to make elinks depends on
libtre5?
