while trying to install the artwiz-cursor package on a dapper machine: <-- snip -->

After installing the xcursor- themes package which provides that alternative, the artwiz-cursor package was also installing fine. so, I assume either xcursor-themes should be added to dependencies or preinst should check wether the alternative exists or not. -- cant install artwiz-cursor package in breezy..showing a "subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2" https://launchpad.net/bugs/4211 -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
