They could probably conflict and recommend to get the right version of mozilla, and then mozilla would have to deal with registering languages installed before it. > > - Put the -ll packages in the tasks that install OOo and mozilla. > > But this is quite hard to maintain in tasksel. > > Maybe tasksel could have two different set of tasks: language tasks and > "purpose" tasks (for a lack of a better word) and have tasksel decide the > appropiate packages based on crossing both types.

Yeilding tasks like desktop-spanish, etc. This would quickly become hard to maintain, I'd think. > In any case, I've removed the mentioned packages from the CVS until we > decide what is best and how to do it. Actually I would rather we keep them in until we reach a resolution. I'd rather tasksel err on the side of too big rather than on the side of too little and confusing, as a general rule. Another option that's not much better is moving all the mozilla and OOo translation packages from the language tasks to the main tasks. -- see shy jo
