That's the whole point. Some people have production machines and
can't afford to have other apps stopping. I don't have the
bandwidth to download 1.1.11 sources neither I have hardware to
compile it. And assuming I could, I can't package freeciv-gtk
with a "Depends: libgtk1.1 (>=1.1.11)" being that there is no
package libgtk1.1_1.1.11... so unless 1.1.11 is in deb and rpm
format, it isn't really suitable for "mortals".
