But the work to keep the priorities consistent is not useful when you already have a tool that adds them (and nothing else) to a set of packages when you need it, as opposed to "when ftpadmin gets around to updating the override file". > Minor clarification: Essential is a flag, not a priority. > *Oops* Thanks. -- -- Matthias Urlichs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
