Something of the sort happened here. I grabed Evolution1.2 7 Gimp1.3 + depends and i get a similar error message. The difference I see between my unstable box & woody box is the syntax? of the linked file woody: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 -> libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so unstable: libstdc++libc6.2-2.so.3 -> libstdc++-3libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so there may be other differences but what is the significants of the additional (-) after libstdc++ in the woody example? -- Greg Madden Debian GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
