[Synaptic-devel] Dependencies

[Guillaume Pratte]

More on my last email concerning dependencies...

Finally what I wrote about is not a bug, but a misunderstanding of the UI.

I configured Synaptic's default release to "ignore", so in my case this 
represent testing (well that's my default release with apt-get when I don't 
use the -t switch).

I clicked on the packaged "nethack", which is not installed at all on my 
system.

In the dependencies tab, the two dependencies of this package, 
"nethack-common" and "nethack-x11" are in red.

Clicking on one of the dependencies, the following message appears at the 
bottom : "package is/will not be installed".

But when I click "Install", Synaptic ask me to confirm the installation of 
these two dependencies plus libxaw6.

The "Execute" command also seems to work well (I canceled before the download 
was completed).

Should the message be changed?
