If you don't want to see the message mark the packages as manually-installed. Because any developer can upload anything to Sid at any time without regard to dependencies it is not unusual to get funny-looking results when trying to install from it. If you want to run Sid you need to understand a bit about the package-management system. Read the man pages for apt, dpkg, & friends. You also sometimes need to wait a bit before installing a new package. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
