Often I can tell that they're spurious and just choose not to install them, but it would get messy if the thing to be installed actually had dependencies... Case in point: downloading gdb-7.3.50-1 requests dependencies "ca-certificates-1.78-1" and "libgcj11-4.5.3-3" -- neither of which strikes me as a likely candidate, and both of which are highly likely candidates given that I'm not at the latest versions of libgcj or libcurl4... Anyone else seen this behavior?
