Ack, I wasn't aware that it is that clever! I'm happy to put back the Suggests: then, I reopened the bug. > In any case, if you decide to include such a "Suggests: libunrar0" > then please let me know and give me a bit of time to upload the newest > unrar version which will probably include a rename of the binary > libunrar0 (API changed) Sure, please go ahead. I'll prepare the latest calibre version in the meantime in bzr. Please let me know when it's time for upload. Thanks!
