Gidday - I have a couple standard Potato machines at work, and one at home
as a standard Masquerading gateway. I've been playing with licq and
Xvnc. On discovering that licq was up to version 0.85 from the 0.76 I was
using I tried
apt-get install licq
> Package licq is at the latest version
Right - makes sense... I'll add some woody lines to /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install licq
> About to install 20 Mb worth of stuff like esound and so forth.
Hmmm - that can't be right... Perhaps I'll download the deb direct from
www.debian.org
dpkg -i licq_085.deb
> depends on libqt2, licq-plugin, etc etc
After delving through a fair list of dependancies I ended up with two
things that depended on each other and wouldn't install without the other,
as well as libqt2 conflicting with qt.
My question - whats the safest way to install a woody package into a mostly
potato system?
(sorry for the half-post earlier, I'm using eudora for which control-E is
send, not End-Of-Line as I wanted :)
