IIRC, this is documented in policy, i.e. when you want to depend on a virtual package (or a provided package), you must have : Depends: <real package name providing B> | <virtual package name> A = real package name providing B (there must be at least one) B = virtual package name I hope this helps. -- J�r�me Marant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
