Point here is direction: Use "Enhances:" for "leaf-towards-center" relationship. APT can automagically drop packages when no longer needed (an old feature of aptitude, more recently integrated in APT core - see "man apt-mark" for more info). Circular relationships ruins that feature. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
