Hello all,
aptitude sometimes says some package is "not a real package".
For instance:
$ aptitude show emacs-dl-wnn
Package: emacs-dl-wnn
State: not a real package
When I try to install such a package using "aptitude install",
nothing is installed. Could someone tell me what this is?
I remember that when I was using woody, I sometimes installed
a "virtual package", whose sole purpose was to automatically
install the other packages on which it nominally "depends".
At first I thought this "not a real package" business was just
that. But, I'm puzzled because such a package installs
nothing. . . .
Oh, and I'm now using etch (testing).
Regards,
Ryo
