Hi all
On my debian/testing machine I have a 3rd party package
gerris-snapshot (the debian gerris package is very old).
And ...
> apt-cache show libgsl0-dev
Package: libgsl0-dev
:
Version: 1.11-2
:
Depends: libgsl0ldbl (= 1.11-2)
> apt-cache show libgsl0ldbl
Version: 1.11-2
Replaces: gsl, libgsl0 (<= 1.9-4)
:
Conflicts: gsl, libgsl0
> apt-cache show gerris-snapshot
Package: gerris-snapshot
Version: 1.2.0-080705
Depends: libc6-dev | libc-dev, libgts-snapshot-dev (>= 0.7.6),
pkg-config, gcc, sed, gawk, m4, proj, libnetcdf3, libgsl0
so that if I want to use the GSL development library
> sudo apt-get install libgsl0-dev libgsl0ldbl
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED
gerris-snapshot gfsview-snapshot libgsl0 vfplot
The following NEW packages will be installed
The author of the package is prepared to replace its dependancies
by
Depends: libc6-dev | libc-dev, libgts-snapshot-dev (>= 0.7.6),
pkg-config, gcc, sed, gawk, m4, proj, libnetcdf3, libgsl0 |
libgsl0ldbl
but queries why this should be necessary -- if libgsl0ldbl
replaces libgsl0 then shouldn't the package libgsl0ldbl suffice to
satisfy gerris-snapshot's dependancy on libgsl0?
If not, would I be foolish to ask for this as a feature request?
Thanks in advance!
Jim
