(Please note there is a real libgnutls-dev package, only libgnutls11-dev Provides libgnutls-dev, there's no libgnutls12- or 13-dev packages; that's why I don't need "real | virt", I use "real".) Thanks for your comments, I'll close this bug as I think this is regular practice. -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
