Bug#286779: Dependency Hell Installing dia-common 0.94

    Hi,

 Err, I'm really lost by your setup, I can only check what happens on
 woody, sarge, or sid, not what happens exactly on your machine:
 - woody:
 apt-cache show dia-gnome | egrep -i '^(depends|recommends|version)'
 Version: 0.88.1-3
 Depends: gdk-imlib1, libart2 (>= 1.2.13-5), libaudiofile0 (>= 0.2.3-4),
 libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libdb3 (>= 3.2.9-1), libesd0 (>= 0.2.23-1) |
 libesd-alsa0 (>= 0.2.23-1), libgdk-pixbuf2 (>= 0.16.0-1), libglib1.2
 (>= 1.2.0), libgnome32 (>= 1.2.13-5), libgnomesupport0 (>= 1.2.13-5),
 libgnomeui32 (>= 1.2.13-5), libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.10-4), libpng2(>=1.0.12),
 libpopt0 (>= 1.6.2-1), libxml1 (>= 1:1.8.14-3), xlibs (>> 4.1.0),
 zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), dia-common (=0.88.1-3)
 Recommends: gsfonts-x11

 apt-cache show dia-common | egrep -i '^(depends|recommends|version)'
 Version: 0.88.1-3
 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4)
 Recommends: dia | dia-gnome

 => no problem here, python isn't involved, and there's no python 2.3
 anyway

 - sarge and sid:
 apt-cache show dia-gnome | egrep -i '^(depends|recommends|version)'
 Version: 0.94.0-3

 apt-cache show dia-common | egrep -i '^(depends|recommends|version)'

 apt-cache show python-gtk2 | egrep -i '^(depends|recommends|version)'

 apt-cache show python2.3-gtk2 | egrep -i

 Version: 2.4.1-2

 python2.3, python2.3-numeric

 apt-cache policy dia-gnome dia-common python-gtk2 python2.3-gtk2

 => this confirms that the versions in sarge and sid of the packages you
 mention are the same, I could not find any dependency on 'hurd', so I
 guess your local setup is broken.

 Please send the output of apt-cache policy for the packages you are
 incriminating, and your sources.list or confirm that I can close the
 bug.
