APT already completely supports it but there is no parser to generate the data so the functionality is disabled. When dpkg is patched APT can do it real quick. I suggest the syntax Provides: foo (= 1.1) Which parallels the depends syntax. I think I even have a generic parser for that someplace. Jason
