Dependency means that a package with a foobar script
depends on the foobar interpreter.
An example of a `replace` are in vim:
Replaces: vim-rt, vim-tiny (<< 6.0), vim-perl (<< 6.0), vim-python (<< 6.0), vim-tcl (<< 6.0), vim-tty (<< 6.0), vim-gtk (<< 6.0)
Provides: editor, vim-rt
dspsycoWell, this sounded exciting. I went and looked at it and read the web page. Maybe the documentation doesn't do it service but... the two things I got from it were A) "Danger Will Robinson!" , "there be nasties here laddie" and B) its for managing user/group ids--didn't say anything really about autofs mount maps.
>From its description: Description: Debian packages of system configurations Dpsyco introduces the concept of configuration packages. It is a special form of debian packages that is applied on top of the original debian packages. With this you can add users, groups, apply a file skeleton, patch things and more. Observe! No such configuration packages should be uploaded to the debian archives. This kind of things are intended to be created and used by the system administrator only.
