+<p><strong>Dependency Resolution.</strong> Andreas Barth <a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2006/07/msg00014.html">reported</a>
+about a meeting with researchers from the Rencontres Mondiales du Logiciel
+Libre (<a href="http://www.rmll.info/">RMLL</a>) in which many ideas about
+dependencies in Debian were exchanged.  The dependency web of Debian packages
+has been converted into the Boolean <a
+href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satisfiability">satisfiability</a> problem
+(SAT) so that a normal resolvers could find a solution.  This produced some
+amusing outcome such as a Debian <a

+wheather</a> that represents the installability status of the packages or a
+SAT temperature that denotes the difficulty of resolving a set of
+dependencies.</p>

 <p><strong>Security Updates.</strong> You know the drill.  Please make sure
 that you update your systems if you have any of these packages installed.</p>
