This is bad. bzip2-dev is NOT an essential package, and it MUST be allowed to remove it. That is true of every -dev package. If we don't allow the removal, then we can never upgrade the library if there is a non-binary-compatible change. During a transition period to the new library you would have to allow the -dev packages to swap in and out. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
