Say, for some reason, you uninstall libssl.No, that's why debian has packages and its dependencies. The right way is to create a package adn give it the right depends. -- Dalibor Straka
I agree. That is why I said that it was correct for Adobe to distribute all the necessary libraries with acroread, because there is no integration with the package manager. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~sanchezr
