Nevermind me. I was thinking about the hopefully unlikely case where libc6 suddenly came out and we had to rebuild ncurses21 with it. I eventually realized that if that did happen, we would just use a new major number and package name. > So when tcl 7.5 comes out, you'll make tcl75-dev conflict with > tcl74-dev? That makes fine sense. I was planning on doing this with Yes, but not directly. The way I did it was to have tcl74-dev both provide and conflict with the virtual package tcl-dev. When tcl75-dev comes out, it will do the same thing. This has the advantage of only allowing one tcl*-dev package to be installed at a time without having to explicitly conflict with every other package. David -- David Engel Optical Data Systems, Inc.
