The way to solve this is to grep the Packages files. You'll see lots of libz1 depends, so if there isn't a package with that name, there must be a provides instead: Package: zlib1g Version: 1:1.1.3-5 Priority: standard Section: libs Maintainer: Joel Klecker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1) Conflicts: zlib1 (<= 1:1.0.4-7) Provides: libz1 Architecture: i386 Filename: dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/libs/zlib1g_1.1.3-5.deb I hope that fixes things.
