Added to git master (and also for python and ruby). I allowed a dependency on another package with matched variant as an alternative to a dependency on the language itself. That is, bar-pm5124:Depends:foo-pm5124 is sufficient as it inherits an indirect dep on perl5124-core via foo-pm5124 (which either has an explicit Depends:perl5124-core or else recurses down to other *-pm5124). It uncovered a handful of cases in 10.7/finkinfo, all fixed now. Please let me know if your build/run testing finds any others (== this new test is leaky) or other problems with it. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Infragistics Professional Build stunning WinForms apps today!
