I've just worked around a gutenprint dependency issue in sid, where a 'conflicts' appears to be missing, so it's entirely possible that gimp has failed to bring in everything necessary. Have a look with apt-rdepends -p gimp > filename (it's a lot more than a screenful, over 900 lines). Mine has a few not-installed entries, but in each case there seems to be an alternative which is installed. I've just moved to LXDE but I haven't dared pull any gnome stuff. This is sid, after all. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
