One package provides ftp-client and some provide ftp. ftp-client: konqueror - does it really include a ftp binary? ftp: heimdal-clients and lukemftp Perhaps I am missing some. The problem is, if a package provides ftp it can not be installed together with the real ftp package. So the correct thing would be to introduce a virtual package ftp-client. But ftp has to start with it, ftp-ssl will follow and all the other packages have to change their control files. konqueror has to check if it really can provide ftp-client. Christoph
