Hi, I'm investigating http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=711789 and wondering whats going on:
Grads fails to build due to a B-D conflict, grads (= 2:2.0.1-1) build-depends on one of: - libgeotiff-dev (= 1.3.0+dfsg-3) libgeotiff-dev (= 1.3.0+dfsg-3) depends on one of: - libtiff5-dev (= 4.0.2-6) libtiff4-dev (= 3.9.6-11) and libtiff5-dev (= 4.0.2-6) conflict libgd-dev (= 2.1.0~rc2-1) depends on one of: - libtiff4-dev (= 3.9.6-11) libgd2-xpm-dev (= 2.1.0~rc2-1) depends on one of: - libgd-dev (= 2.1.0~rc2-1) grads (= 2:2.0.1-1) build-depends on one of: - libgd2-xpm-dev (= 2.1.0~rc2-1) - libgd-dev (= 2.1.0~rc2-1) I'm unfamiliar with the history of libtiff4 / tiff5, but libgd-dev depends on libtiff-dev ; can anyone answer: (1) why does libgeotiff-dev depend on libtiff5-dev? (2) why libtiff5-dev not provide the virtual libtiff-dev?
