i have the same "problem" with dspam and pdns. but i dont think it is this hard: http://zen.sh.nu/~darix/dspam.spec http://zen.sh.nu/~darix/pdns.spec i simply moved all backends, that require new libraries, into subpackages. For dspam i solved it with some virtual provides/requires. in case of pdns it has some working backends in the main package. shouldnt the same work for you aswell? darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
