I'm just an amateur at Archlinux packages. But, I don't think it will be "offered" as an alternative, but if you go to install a package that has a dependency, but you already have a package that "provides" the dependency, then that will work. Also, if you explicity install the provides package together with the the package that has a dependency that is provided, then I think that will work also. _______________________________________________ X2Go-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev
