The former should depend on the latter. That doesn't address the general problem, though, without creating dependency loops, which we're trying to reduce because dpkg doesn't like them and can do weird things with them. Consider gnubg and gnubg-data, for instance. gnubg-data is going to have the same problem, and it should not Depend on gnubg since doing so would create a dependency loop. This was discussed at great length a while back on debian-devel, and I think Ian weighed in saying that we really shouldn't have circular dependencies from dpkg's perspective. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
