Virtual Provides  
----------------  
  
In the past gd-1.x and later libgd1 provided gd, to be consistant gd-2.x  
(libgd2-x) should provide gd2, and gd until gd-1.x is phased out.  
  
Likewise there should be a similar thing with the devel package. libgd1-devel  
should provive gd-devel, libgd2-devel should provide gd2-devel, and gd-devel  
until libgd1-devel is phased out.  
  
Finally when libgd1-x is gone from the distro, libgd2 should only provide  
libgd and gd, libgd2-devel should only provide gd-devel.  
  
Why?  
  
If I want to install for instance the OpenSSL devel package I don't have to  
care how Mandrake has named it. I just do "urpmi openssl-devel" and rpm/urpmi  
logic install the package who has this virtual provides flag. 
 
 
So I don't think this is a bug in webalizer but in the libgd2-x package.

description: 
webalizer depends on gd2 -- this isn't provided by anybody; it probably should depend 
on libgd2 instead (or libgd2 should provide gd2 -- I'm not sure which one is right) 
 
Either way, you can't currently install webalizer unless you resort to --nodeps.
