The dependency was dropped in 0.10.40-4 (which you can install from testing) at the same time the package was split using a double mutual dependency. I know this is not optimal but the other alternatives were even worse. I still think we need a new dpkg field for package splits. For example, gettext-el could have a field "Previously-In: gettext" so that "apt-get upgrade" knows which packages have to be installed when upgrading in order not to lose existing functionality. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
