Well, whenever I hit that situation, either I install the components somewhere where they aren't shared or I have a package for the shared component and then separate packages that depend on it for the products. Even if I didn't do that, while I could end up with different versions of stuff on the system, checksums and file lengths would still allow me to determine what was actually on the disk. - --Chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHPij+OagjPOywMBARAqqCAKCDqO0/NywE/q6rQCkzhbQ6KMonlwCdEBYa yOScs14ZmrExnqJ8O/Qso88= =yy8n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
