Not able to use leafnode and trn?

[Ian Lynagh]

Hi all!

I'm a little bit puzzled.
I am trying to set up my system so I can read USENET news offline.
Having failed to get slrn and slrnpull to work I've decided to
try leafnode with trn instead. However it seems that using trn means
I can't use leafnode, despite leafnode suggesting it!

As shown below:

Package: trn
Version: 3.6-9.3
Priority: optional
Section: news
Maintainer: Jonathan K. Rabone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Depends: libc6, ncurses3.4, inews
Recommends: mail-transport-agent
Suggests: ispell
Provides: news-reader
Architecture: i386
Filename: dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/news/trn_3.6-9.3.deb
Size: 187250
MD5sum: 8d29b31affb18bc0c73e6a63968a9b61


trn depends on inews, so

Package: inews
Version: 2.1-6
Priority: extra
Section: news
Maintainer: Roman Hodek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Depends: cnews, perl
Conflicts: inewsinn
Architecture: all
Filename: dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/news/inews_2.1-6.deb
Size: 11414
MD5sum: d501cab6492fb25e53fd2bb64ab5fa2d

inews depends on cnews, so

Package: cnews
Version: cr.g7-12
Priority: extra
Section: news
Maintainer: Roman Hodek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Depends: libc6, cron
Recommends: inews, mail-transport-agent
Suggests: ncompress, news-reader, nntp
Conflicts: inn, inewsinn, news-transport-system
Provides: news-transport-system
Architecture: i386
Filename: dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/news/cnews_cr.g7-12.deb
Size: 413242
MD5sum: aeeb70c05311c6aa83934ac4e4853ece


but cnews conflicts with news-transport-system...

Package: leafnode
Version: 1.4-10
Priority: extra
Section: news
Maintainer: Joey Hess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Depends: netbase, libc6
Suggests: trn | news-reader
Conflicts: news-transport-system, newsx
Provides: news-transport-system
Architecture: i386
Filename: dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/news/leafnode_1.4-10.deb
Size: 74230
MD5sum: bcf3b2c63a8b433f4b986bfd4505e0a1

...and therefore leafnode! So how do I do this? 


Thanks
Ian

Ah, but you don't need the actual inews package... the inewsinn package
"Provides" inews for dependency purposes. My system has trn, inewsinn,
and leafnode as the only packages installed from section news, and it
seems to work fine.

Ah, thanks  :-)
Everything seems to be working fine now  :-)

If a problem causes many meetings, the meetings eventually become more important
than the problem.
