Bug#29767: forwarded message from Jason Gunthorpe



This message was originally supposed to be sent to 29767.  Because of
a typo, it was misfiled.  I am sending this message to 29767 so that
it will be filed correctly.

Perhaps error message from the new APT will help,

Wakko:/home/jgg/work/apt/build/bin# ./apt-get install gnome-core
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gnome-core: Depends: libgnome0 (>= 0.30.1-3) but it is not installed
              Depends: libgtkxmhtml0 (>= 0.30.1-3) but it is not installed
E: Sorry, broken packages

Wakko:/home/jgg/work/apt/build/bin# ./apt-cache showpkg libgnome0
libgtkxmhtml0
Package: libgnome0
Versions:
0.30.1-2(/var/state/apt/lists/debian.midco.net_debian_dists_slink_main_binary-i386_Packages),

Package: libgtkxmhtml0
Versions:
0.30.1-2(/var/state/apt/lists/debian.midco.net_debian_dists_slink_main_binary-i386_Packages),

The giflib3g in the old apt is just a side effect of the way the output is
shown and isn't considered internally 

Doesn't look like a bug to me.
