Wierd apt responses on SuSE 8.1
I've seen this twice and it seems very odd. Can anyone explain why a package would have a dependency on an earlier build of the same package? rogue:/home/jlemay/ethereal-0.9.11 # apt-get install ethereal Reading Package Lists... Done Collecting File Provides... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: ethereal 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 removed and 436 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/3581kB of archives. After unpacking 12.1MB will be used.

I'm not an apt user and I have no experience with it but I have to ask: Is it possible that the package is just an update and not the full package? On Friday 04 April 2003 18:32, John LeMay wrote:

Seems like a bug someplace - either in the package or in rpm since trying to install the package from /var/cache/apt/archives gives the same error:
rogue:/home/jlemay/ethereal-0.9.11 # cd /var/cache/apt/archives/ rogue:/var/cache/apt/archives # rpm -Uvh ethereal_0.9.6-152_i586.rpm error: failed dependencies: ethereal = 0.9.6-29 | ethereal = 0.9.6-40 | ethereal = 0.9.6-59 is needed by ethereal-0.9.6-152
Any ideas?

Seems like a bug someplace - either in the package or in rpm since trying to install the package from /var/cache/apt/archives gives the same error:
That package is from ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/8.1-i386/RPMS.update-prpm. The prpm means it's a patch. Go to ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/8.1-i386/RPMS.base and get the ... -59 and you should be ok. -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.1
