So I guess that the python-twisted-conch package dependency should be raised from Recommends: to Depends: to follow upstream's choice. It's little overhead for an interesting feature. I wasn't sure it was that important to make it only a recommends anyway. Thanks for the hints. Bert. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
