It was a circular dependency that prompted my original article. libgphoto2-port0 depends on libgphoto2-2, and libgphoto2-2 depends on libgphoto2-port0. A needs B, and B needs A. You can't have A OR B. You need A AND B, no matter what you are using them for, or what other dependencies exist. Many people replied with ways around this, but the dependency exists, and is circular. -- Lift me down, so I can make the Earth tremble. --Bucky Katt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
