hmm... even though the package will *fail* installation without them? maybe i'll use this -- please let me know if it makes sense: Depends: perl | mysql-base Recommends: cron | httpd | mysql-server | bind | libdbi-perl | libdbd-mysql-perl Rationale: it needs perl and mysql-base (mysqladmin) to install (and definitely needs perl to run). All the other parts are needed to run the program, but are not necessarily on the same machine, or, in the case of the lib*perl packages, might have been installed by the user as separate CPAN packages. randolph -- Debian Developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.TauSq.org/
