Looks like --specific-version is not taking version operators into account. I didn't find much use for this option. Cross-checking with ldd will cause hand-added dependencies to be missed. As a consequence, "CheckDependants python" missed Subversion, for example, while "CheckDependants --fast python" got it. On the other hand, when checking a non-Current version of GTK+, --fast got it wrong and the slow mode got it right. My suggestion is to make the "fast" mode the default when no version is given. When a version is given, the cross-check should skip the dependency only if the dependency is returned by ldd but it is not the requested version. May cause the odd false-positive, but it's better than missing hand-added dependencies. Here's a version with the suggested changes: http://hisham.gobolinux.org/CheckDependants -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
