I just did an apt-get dist-upgrade to woody from potato It seems that today at least, the existing version of nis (nis_3.6-2.deb) won't play nicely with the latest netbase (netbase4.0.5). netbase says it won't deal with any nis <=3.6-2.
>From dselect when I try to install nis; netbase conflicts with nis (<= 3.6-2) nis depends on netbase Any ideas? I tried backing off to the potato netbase but dselect kept trying to reinstall the later netbase. PS. Is there a command-line option on dpkg or apt-get to print out dependancies to stdout?
