It appears the someone is still placing in the stable release area (1.2.x) packages that depend on other package versions that are _not_ in the stable release area. For example, unless I've updated incorrectly (I use dftp), perl-suid from the stable area (Debian-1.2-fixed as of 97/01/19) depends on perl version 5.003-07-5. However, the perl version in the stable area is version 5.003.07-2. (That is, I have been updating my system with dftp, I think I have the latest perl version installed (but that's where I could have something wrong), I just tried updating with dftp, and for perl-suid it reported that it needed perl version 5.003-07-5 but only version 5.003.07-2 is installed.) This has been happening a lot. Suggested Fix: I think your release procedures should include checking for such erroneous dependencies (e.g., running a script (or some dpkg option?) to check for such problems before a new release directory is finally released). That is, check that all depended-on packages, of the right version numbers, are actually in the stable release area. Daniel -- Daniel S.
