dependency resolving issues

Tue Apr 7 04:35:08 UTC 2009


Greetings:

I guess that I just do not understand how things work around here -- that
being, an open community problem?

To me, I would not submit something if all it did was have broken
dependencies or broke the software!!!

Having three packages have dependency resolution problems, doesn't sound too
professional to me!

Sincerely,
Rob G. Healey
