Package: x11-common Version: 1:7.1.0-16 Severity: normal
Package x11 common contains lot of Conflicts: dependencies with debian packages, build with old Xfree86 libraries. Most of them are versioned, so if maintainer of package or someone else builds new package with same name, it can be successfully installed on newer Debian system. But there is at least one unversioned dependency: xephem package (which is dropped from Debian several years ago). So, if someone builds new pakage with this name or package which provides virtual package xephem, this package cannot be installed on debian etch or newer system due to conflict with x11-common package. I think that it is bad idea to ban package name at whole. I suggest that this dependency should be changed as Conflicts: xephem (<= 3.4-5) (it seems to be latest version of old xephem package available in the Debian archives). -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (1100, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-k7 Locale: LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R (charmap=KOI8-R) Versions of packages x11-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.17 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii lsb-base 3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip x11-common recommends no packages. -- debconf information: x11-common/xwrapper/allowed_users: Console Users Only x11-common/xwrapper/actual_allowed_users: console x11-common/xwrapper/nice_value/error: * x11-common/upgrade_issues: x11-common/xwrapper/nice_value: -10 x11-common/x11r6_bin_not_empty: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
