I don't have a specific wording suggestion, but basically -S will make sure the dependencies are satisfied. In your case, darcs' dependencies were satisfied, a curl update didn't *need* to happen. If darcs had depended on a certain version of curl that wasn't installed, curl would have been updated. Jason
