Why does the Application installer populate programs we cannot install due to missing libraries? What's the point of being teased like this?

GAIM is just sitting there waiting to be installed, but it won't because the package is missing some ?libcrypt01 yata yata? file. Why would someone repository an incomplete package?

I have 4 more program in there like that, too. Torture!

I checked the main 2006 download site and the library portion only shows sqlite3 etc.... not many libraries yet, so that's not the answer, either.

I just don't get it, heh.

Later.
