Hello, somehow there's a problem with X11R6 dependencies in Debian 1.2. Trying to install gimp-smotif dselect says, that X11R6 is needed but doesn't seem to be available. Of course I installed it and it even works :) This should be a problem in xbase, I think. I tried to correct it by inserting Provides: X11R6 for the xbase package in /var/lib/dpkg/available and /var/lib/dpkg/status. Now gimp installs fine. My question: Is there any caveat in doing this? Should there be any other changes made to the database?
BTW, is there a possibilty to use 'force' in dselect for programs that have to be configured? I was able to install gimp using 'Q' after selecting it, but it couldn't be configured.
