Hmm, your answer actually confused me more. What I was really asking was "Is there some reason not to rebuild lib32ffi4 with a dependency on gcc-4.2-base >= 4.2.3-2ubuntu7 instead of gcc-4.2-base = 4.2.3-2ubuntu7?" I'm still using gcc 4.2, not 4.3, simply a later verson of 4.2 than ffi wants.
You're right, though -- I need this for a different package, a homecooked one, but not my own. But I don't think that's the problem, really, although recompiling it might be a workaround. The problem I see is that lib32ffi4, outdated or not, is theoretically available for installation but is in reality uninstallable. That's why I filed a bug report here rather than against the other package. Like I said, though, I'm still confused. It's possible that I'm still misunderstanding your point. I suppose I could also mention for the record that I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 amd64. -- lib32ffi4 broken dependencies https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307439 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
