Hi, Penguins.

My penguin ran into this trouble. Following is whatever happened.

#1. I needed pdftex1.3 (
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...php?t=445670 ), so that I had to upgrade several files including xrender1. Packages which are not found in sarge, were fetched from backport.

#2. At sarge, libxrender-dev depends on#3. and several other files depend another.....

#4. Then, due to missing dependency, gtk is not functional. (This is a problem...)

To solve one problem, another one shows up, and vice versa.

How can I have both gtk and pdftex1.3 ?

I appreciate any suggestion to have my happy penguin.

Thanks a lot

Maybe you can recompile the apps you need against the Sarge libs to avoid this looping. It's what I used to do, since backports don't always honour the Sarge libs.

Yeah, I agree. I would have done that, if I had known what to do..... It was latex, I went to tug.org to find whatever, which I could not figure out what is what.... I am totally lost among tex, tetex and latex and their versions....
