It's not a problem of "NoAuto: yes": as you note yourself, there's no way with plain APT to pull from a repository only when it's required. You could argue that APT lacks the feature, but I think we need some higher level program to force APT into installing the correct versions (just like pbuilder-satisfydepends-experimental does for example). -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
