Hi all
When I saw that an update for slang was available, I issued an apt-get
install slang, and thought that it would pull slang-devel too. It didnt:
# rpm -qR slang-devel
slang = 1.4.9
You are getting confused. You answered your own question above. slang-devel
requires slang, not the other way around. Think about it, the reason for
breaking out things into the -devel packages is to not install the devel
stuff unless you need it. *-devel is not ever required by the parent package
that I am aware of.
