While we mention metapackeges, may I please request a metapackage (with
a different name) with an explicit dependency on the plf's version of
libfreetype6 ?
This way, to get the bytecode interpreter, it would be simple:
urpmi bytecode-interpreter-xxx.rpm
compared to:
* manually download the plf's libfreetype6-xxx.rpm by ftp
* rpm -e --nodeps libfreetype6-xxx #force remove the MDV package,
#leaving the system temporarily
#broken.
* rpm -i ./libfreetype6-xxx.rpm #manually install.
#Can't use urpmi.
* Add libfreetype6 to/etc/urpmi/skip.list
Regards,
Richard
