Your case is somewhat unusual in that you're providing debugging symbols for a bunch of packages that are otherwise fairly unrelated and can be installed with a mix of version numbers. Most of the time, this is not the case. In your case, this is only marginally useful; it does ensure that the user has at least one relevant package installed, but no more than that. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
