If it does, then it's the downstream maintainer for that particular platform's job to fix it. We already do this for BroadcastAppliance with several package dependencies for CentOS (CDParanoia comes to mind). Should the day come when the Upstream Provider ceases to distribute Qt3, then we would just add that package to the list of dependencies that we maintain ourselves. A minor irritant, not a major problem. It's a core part of any downstream maintainer's brief. Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
