Think of it as a sort of libgtk1.1.12-dev. libgtk1.1.13-dev rightly conflicts with it, as you can't have multiple versions of -dev packages for the same library installed at the same time (they all share /usr/lib/libgtk-1.1.so !)

No. The fact that the *actual* libgtk1.1-dev package conflicts with libgtk-dev, does not mean that the package libgtk1.13-dev, which provides libgtk1.1-dev, must conflict with libgtk-dev.

OK, I have probably misunderstood something. libgtk1.1-dev conflicts with libgtk-dev, and does not provide libgtk-dev. I read the packaging-manual in a way that makes it impossible to install _any_ package that provides both. The relevant sections(?): When one package declares a conflict with another dpkg will refuse to allow them to be installed on the system at the same time. A special exception is made for packages which declare a conflict with their own package name, or with a virtual package which they provide (see below): this does not prevent their installation, and allows a package to conflict with others providing a replacement for it. You use this feature when you want the package in question to be the only package providing something. -- ...Unix, MS-DOS, and MS Windows (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly).

Aren't these relationships somewhat odd. Nothing odd there. libgtk1.1-dev conflicts with libgtk-dev so that it won't be installed at the same time as any other package which provides: libgtk-dev. In fact, all the libgtk*-dev packages should provide: libgtk-dev and conflict:libgtk-dev - so only one can be installed at any time. For example: pear# apt-get install libgtk1.1.13-dev Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: libglib1.1.13-dev The following packages will be REMOVED: libgtk-dev The following NEW packages will be installed: libglib1.1.13-dev libgtk1.1.13-dev 0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 893k of archives. After unpacking 1186k will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Looks fine to me..

Conflicts in libgtk*-dev
Am I overlooking something obvious here? libgtk1.1.13-dev provides libgtk-dev and libgtk1.1-dev but libgtk1.1-dev conflicts with libgtk-dev this means that gnome-apt refuses to install libgtk1.1.13-dev, a package that I sorely need. Aren't these relationships somewhat odd. -- Eschew obfuscation(go on; look them both up) (Brian White) [EMAIL PROTECTED] [-: .elOle. :-] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
