provides and dependencies



Hello, ...

I have a package A wich provides package B ( actually, B is a trimmed down
version of A which get replaced by A when A is installed).

I have a package C, which i wanted to make depend on B only, but which should
also work when A is installed, since A provides B.

But this does not work, when A is installed C refuses to install.

I solved this with using :

Depends: A | B

but this is rather cumbersome.

Did i miss something ?

Friendly,

Sven Luther
