I've tried to understand this comment, but failed so far. My proposal would be regarding the ordering of the postinst for the set of packages already selected for installation, and thus not really affect the dependency resolution as such. Also, my proposal is for cycle free dependency trees, as package sets with cycles are already broken at a random location and thus any hope of predictable ordering of postinst execution is gone already. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
