"foo is not debian-specific" is a pretty silly rationalle for leaving some debian-specific feature out of the debian package of foo. Apt could have a Apt::BuildDep::AlwaysMakeSureThisIsInstalledToo and the debian package of apt be shipped with an apt.conf that sets it to build-essential on debian. The name of the package may vary from distribution to distribution, but the idea makes sense and can be supported in apt. It may find other uses as well on individual systems. -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
