This is exactly what you want. While users might install dialign-t-data
perfectly without breaking there system or the functionality of dialign-t-data
(which is prividing data for dialign-t ... the user might run a local
copy for whatever reason), it is _Recommended_ to install dialign-t as
well which is reasonably done by apt-get by default.
I think that I would only Suggest: dialign-t, to avoir a relationship
which would be too circular.
No. Circular _Depends_ should be avioded. I never heard that
circular _Recommends_ would cause any problem. It just makes sense in
most use cases to not install dialign-t-data without dialign-t - so it
is _Recommended_.
Or how about: "This package contain the score matrices and probability
distribution files that DIALIGN-T needs to align peptidic and nucleic
sequences."
I prefer this one.
Thanks a lot for the help ! I am running out of time today to apply the
changes...
But there is so much time left for today - I think Nelson will not even
had Lunch today. ;-))
Have a nice day,
Sleep well
Andreas.
