While installing an updated fvwm2 from source, I decided to include gnome support using apt-get to install libgnome-dev and I got the following response:
debian:/home/sttng359/fvwm/fvwm-2.4.17# apt-get install libgnome-dev Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

[Y/n] I just installed libqt3-dev a little while ago so I could use the gui config for linux-2.6 and I had the reverse situation. Why can't I have both installed at once, as far as I can tell, they should be independent of each other. I've had to switch several times already for compiling different software packages. If the main libraries can both be installed, why can't the dev support files also be? I can understand debian refusing to let me install both exim and sendmail, but this seems pointless. This has been one of the biggest nussiances I've had since I switched from redhat. -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering.
