With the 'freshens' and 'supplements' dependencies. 'Freshens' acts like a condition. If the frehens dependency is fulfilled (package/pattern being installed or to-be-installed), the supplements dependency is evaluated. So in the above example, Konversation would freshen the KDE pattern. > > In patterns, you can also define references to other patterns or > packages to elect installation candidates ? Yes. But dependencies are only possible from the higher to an equal or lower abstraction level. So a pattern can only depend on another pattern or a package. But a package cannot depend on a pattern.
