The package information for php4-gd don't > mention it as a dependency... http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/php4-gd apt-cache show php4-gd | grep ^Dep There's a dependency on libt1-5. I presume that's a newer version of t1lib1 based on the info from the packages. Doesn't explain why it would be necessary for php4-gd. > thanks, > alex > > ps - Here's the commands I ran... > > kiltlifter:/etc/php4/apache2# apt-get update > > > > kiltlifter:/etc/php4/apache2# apt-get install php4-gd I just tried this with preferences nailed to stable and then overridden to go to testing and unstable and didn't come across a need for t1lib1. Trying to install t1lib1 from each of the 3 just worked as well. > Reading Package Lists... Done > Building Dependency Tree... Done > Some packages could not be installed.

Look at reverse dependencies for t1lib1 as well. ciao, der.hans -- # https://www.LuftHans.com/ # Like the maid, I don't do (M$)Windows. - der.hans
