This appears to have been fixed already. The latest whiptail (version 0.50-4) depends on libnewt0. modconf and pppconfig would only have been removed because they depend on whiptail. newt can be safely removed (and IIRC is no longer available). Until it was fixed, the proper solution was to put slang1 and all programs that depend on the 1.3.9 version on hold until all necessary dependancies have been satisfied (an unnecessary dependancy being a program you have no qualms over removing). - -- finger for PGP public key. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBOAk9or7M/9WKZLW5AQGS/gP8C+nZquWOaUWhBdyh2u6SCHjG2CqvQvON 5T6lhyJ/39yLNQhKkcxpRaOMwm94YuoWZKe1VMA3MbyrcGfFzwZ0AoF3JhShiMzV rogweQDVdtq4PXByie2s/EqL36XrAL/aIQQXo39nfxgTCSMG6tqgHEsYczO3xT9B YV6VR26wlXM= =naGw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
