[Slapt-get-user] More dependency problems with frgnome-2.14.3

Hi,

What do you think of this?

I'm trying to use slapt-get to install frgnome-2.14.3 from a downloaded ISO.
I guess most people use the provided install script so they probably don't
get stuck on dependencies.

I'm using "slapt-get --istall-set" following the latest instructions in FAQ18
and after most packages have installed I'm left with this:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  pulseaudio-tools: Depends: glademm
  libetpan: Depends: db4
  beagle: Depends: gecko-sharp-2.0
  frgnome-mono: Depends: gtksourceview-sharp-2.0
  monodevelop: Depends: gecko-sharp-2.0
The following packages have been EXCLUDED:
  pulseaudio-tools sylpheed-claws frgnome-libs libetpan beagle frgnome-mono
  monodevelop
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded.


Interestingly, here are some outputs from "slapt-get --search":

libglademm-2.6.2-i486-1frg [inst=yes]: libglademm
db42-4.2.52-i486-3 [inst=yes]: db42 (Berkeley database library version 4.2.x)
db44-4.4.20-i486-1 [inst=yes]: db4 (Berkeley database library version 4.4.x)
gecko-sharp-2.0-0.11-i486-1frg [inst=yes]: Gecko-Sharp
gtksourceview-sharp-2.0-0.10-i486-1frg [inst=yes]: gtksourceview-sharp-2.0


So, I'm guessing that there are some bugs in the dependencies of the frg-packages,
like glademm => libglademm and db4 => db44.

However I'm not so sure about gecko-sharp and gtksourceview-sharp. Could it be that
because they have release numbers of the form 2.0-0.11 whereas the dependency is
requiring 2.0 slapt-get is confused?

Note also that sylpheed-claws is not claimed to have unmet dependencies although it
has been excluded. I checked my EXCLUDE string but I'm afraid I'm not clever enough
to see what's going on. Here is what I use:

EXCLUDE=^kernel-.*,^alsa-.*,^glibc.*,.*-[0-9]dl$,^devs$,^udev$,aaa_elflibs,x86_64,^lvm$


Any comments?

Regards
Per Borjesson
