If you mean that bc needs this library then bc should be pulling that dependency by itself. You should not be adding transitive dependencies in your packages, only directly used ones. > Is reflected in the used of `bc' during the Build, if I delete this > dependency then fails to build. If bc is missing a dependency on libreadline5, then that's a bug on bc not your package. If you mean that you just need bc, that's fine, but that does not imply that you need libreadline5 as well. Hope that makes it clearer. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
