Package: twisted-doc Version: 2.0.1-3 I selected twisted-doc and twisted-doc-api in aptitude, and tried to install, and here's what I got:

If you change twisted-doc/howto in this file to twisted-doc/core/howto, everything seems to work. I'm running unstable, but with a lot of packages that aren't updated. doc-base is version 0.7.18-0.1, python2.3 version 2.3.5-3, python2.3-twisted version 2.0.1-3. Ethan
