Why is that?
liborbit2 1:2.8.2-1 conflicts with libbonobo-activation4 (<< 1:2.4.0); acme depends on libbonobo-activation4; libbonobo-activation4 is version 1:2.2.4-1 in testing. orbit2 and bonobo-activation, along with a number of others, need to be hinted together. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
