Anyway, I guess you're not using the one in the main archive (which is not used on wanna-build.debian.org neither). You could set a dep-wait on '>=' in case a '==' would be needed though. That would make sure the dep-wait will be able to be fulfilled in the above case. Cheers Luk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
