With reference to what you are implying with the title of this thread, here is the answer: When a choice is given, the packages provide=() some virtual package. If the choice does not make sense (i.e. in the case of conflicting binaries, better versions, compile time support, etc etc), then the package replaces=() another. If a package replaces another, it is a decision made by the developers - either upstream or the Arch devs themselves. No freedom of choice is lost, because you still have abs. Using a distro means some choices are made for you. - phrak _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
