In the case of newer versions I can understand, but if I have an existing version of the application on my system already, why go through all of the trouble of downloading/building it? If another package depends on bzip2, why not have the ability to select "existing system installed bzip2" and satisfy the dependency? Kind of like how when installing xfree86-rootless I am presented with the option of using the version installed with xTools (I think it's xTools)? -- JD ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm Tungsten T handheld.
