Depending on python-tk (>= 2.4.3) is incorrect, because future versions of python-tk are not guaranteed to implement python2.3-tk at all. I'm pretty sure Matthias knows this, though -- just mentioning for the bug log. :) Since I assume the python2.3-tk 2.3.5-3sarge1 in sarge does *not* satisfy idle-python2.3's needs, the most correct dependency seems to be: Depends: python2.3-tk (>= 2.4.3) | python-tk (>= 2.4.3), python2.3-tk There are three ways this dependency would be satisfied -- a real python2.3-tk package with a version >= 2.4.3, a python-tk package >= 2.4.3 that provides python2.3-tk, or a python-tk package which doesn't provide python2.3-tk plus a python2.3-tk package < 2.4.3 which is co-installable with python-tk. The last of these is obviously incorrect, but I don't see any fix for that which isn't worse (except implementing versioned Provides...). -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
