How have you managed to get dependency problems with debian, unless you install using dpkg, which I think should still tell you and stop if there is a dependency problem. I install packages from all over the place and never ran into a dependency problem. The trick is to use apt and not dpkg. On mandrake it took me a week to get the system into an unworkable state using just the rpmfind site. > Not that I recommend DeadRat to anyone, but Joe User isn't going to be > going to rpmfind.net or anywhere else and installing random junk. > > -- > Marc Wilson | If there was any justice in the world, "trust" > [EMAIL PROTECTED] | would be a four-letter word. -- Micha Feigin [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
