C/R/P is not functionally equivalent to the effects of C/R and P together...the triplet has a specific different meaning than its components suggest. And it's technically completely broken to use the triplet when the package-name was ever actually a real package. P is also functionally broken as a substitute for a real package when any other package anywhere ever had a versioned dependency on it. This sounds like the exact situation for which fink-obsolete-packages is documented to be used. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
