Note that you can use install-data-hook; a -hook will always be run after all the other install-data rules. That way you can just omit the dependencies. This is better because the names of those dependencies may change from release to release; they aren't a documented part of the API. (And in fact some day we'll probably rename them to follow our "don't trash the namespace" naming convention.) Tom
