Some others should be added. Examples: bind8 Virtual package for the install of bind included with Jaguar (/usr/sbin/named, v.8.2.3-REL) bzip2 Virtual package for the install of bzip2 included with Jaguar (/usr/bin/bzip2, v.1.0.2) curl Virtual package for the install of curl included with Jaguar (/usr/bin/curl, v.7.7.2) cvs Virtual package for the install of cvs included with Jaguar dev tools (/usr/bin/cvs, v.1.10)
None of these should be replaced. Not only are the versions in Fink in most cases newer, but having them as seperate packages also allows us to provide fixes etc. at all times. OTOH there is nothing to be gained by providing place holders for these, with the possible exception of the bind8 package (I don't know enough about it to comment).
Cheers,
Max
