There are probably lots of others.
As best as I can tell, driver/audio/* do depend upon driver/audio. Also, driver/network/qfe likely does depend upon driver/network/hme, but I can't easily check that. I imagine you're looking at the source manifests, not the resultant packages?

Comay recently encouraged me to find some place to put a wiki page listing possible ways to adjust things. Possibly just to shut me up, though. :) -- Rich _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
