I don't know how authorite I can speak here, but I've done the recent two uploads of java-package. I suggest if you require a java2 runtime to depend on java2-runtime. Since you should generally not depend on a virtual package alone, I suggest depending on: sun-j2re1.5 | java2-runtime (or blackdown- if that works too). If not all java2-runtimes will do, you can exchange java2-runtime for either 'j2re1.5' if you require 1.5, or 'j2re1.4 | j2re1.5' if 1.4 will also do. If there is in any way a problem with this, for example, a certain package or so doesn't work well this way, please let us know, or file a bug on the appropriate package. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
