Dear package authors, I would like to suggest the following to all package authors using
Depends: fink-obsolete-packages in an obsolete splitoff in one of their packages: Namely, please switch to using Depends: fink (>= 0.32) RuntimeDepends: fink-obsolete-packages instead. This way, building a non-obsolete package with an obsolete splitoff does not cause fink-obsolete-packages to be installed. Let me illustrate this with an example: My package "wireshark" has an obsolete splitoff "wireshark-ssl". In previous versions, whenever you updated wireshark, it would also install fink-obsolete-packages, even though wireshark itself is not obsolete. In the new 1.6.6-1 release, I performed the change described above. Now, updating wireshark does not cause fink-obsolete-packages to be installed. Only trying to install or update the obsolete wireshark-ssl splitoff will do that. If you have any questions about this, don't hesitate to ask me :-).
