Hi It has been a while since I used Redhat (and rpm), but as far as I remember, rpm dependencys are files, not packages, whereas in debian, it is based on the package...which results in that it is nearly imposible to automatically create them.. And if I read the manpage of alien correctly, alien does only support dependencys when converting from lsb packages.... yours, Albert -- Albert Dengg <a_d@gmx.at>
