As I understand the code, she ignores unsatisifiable dependencies in an OR clause (as long as the result is not "empty"). That said, our test case for this does not include alternatives. Though looking at the commit log, if she doesn't accept it (I think she will, but...) you will get a big fat warning on the excuses page[1]. If you want to know ahead of time, you are welcome to donate a test case[2]. :) ~Niels [1] http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=mirror/britney2.git;a=commitdiff;h=3e9c1acb8e3724c7f1cf10f4578a4082fb5c1756 [2] http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/britney2-tests.git I think "t/multi-arch-depends" should serve as a good starting point. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
