Nothing that prevented installation, but I sometimes had to do some apt gymnastics to satisfy all the dependencies and conflicts while keeping all the other packages installed. > (Having said all that, personally I would not class libtiff as > "essential" for Emacs, but that point was made 6 years ago too.) I'm in favor or making libtiff non-essential (i.e. just emit a warning if it's missing, rather than stopping the installation). Stefan
