[Slapt-get-user] [Gsb-users] Not Working As Expected

Hi Rich,

This is provided by the avahi package.  Typically you can take a substring of the library, sans
^lib, and search.  You'll find lib{foo} is often provided in a {foo} package.

Yes, but you would install the entire freerock installation in order to install its
dependencies.  Gnucash may have an incomplete list or a short list with only dependencies an
arm reach away.  The others may be assumptions based on an actual Freerock install.  Either
way, suggestions or patches as to which dependencies to add to specific packages are welcome.


Take care,
jason
