Hello, how do I manually change dependencies in the dpkg-database? Is it sufficient to do it in /var/lib/dpkg/available and /var/lib/dpkg/status? I tried to install gimp-smotif from Debian 1.2.0 (InfoMagic Dec1996). dselect says, that X11R6 is needed but doesn't seem to be available. I figured that this is due to xbase doesn't have a 'Provides: X11R6' in its dependencies. After inserting a line 'Provides: X11R6' under xbase in both 'available' and 'status' the problem went away. I don't know if this is the correct way, but I didn't want to download an xbase upgrade (I think it's about 2MB long).
