Heh, you made me doubt of myself for a moment: $ dpkg-deb -I hurd_20130226-2_hurd-i386.deb |grep Depends Depends: hurd-libs0.3 (= 20130226-2), sysv-rc, netdde (>= 0.0.20120518~), libc0.3 (>= 2.13-38~), libncursesw5 (>= 5.6+20070908), libtinfo5, libx11-6, xkb-data > Also, considering the files in hurd-libs0.3 are in a multiarch libdir, > unlike the old location in hurd, so there is nothing which should have > prevented unpacking/configuring hurd-libs0.3 with hurd < 20130226-2. Oh, nothing prevented the unpacking, it's just that apt considered unpacking hurd-libs0.3 before hurd was not needed.
