Yes it is a virtual package. I think the discussion was on both debian-devel and debian-policy. It is added to the list at least. > Also, WTF is with all the "Architecture: all' -java packages that only > depend on java-common?

If it is completely useless then it has to depend on somekind of runtime at least. Just as with any other dependencies. :) Regards, // Ola > -- > Stephen > > They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary > safety deserve neither liberty nor safety -- Benjamin Franklin % -- --------------------- Ola Lundqvist --------------------------- / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Annebergsslingan 37 \ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] 654 65 KARLSTAD | | +46 (0)54-10 14 30 +46 (0)70-332 1551 | | http://www.opal.dhs.org UIN/icq: 4912500 | \ gpg/f.p.: 7090 A92B 18FE 7994 0C36 4FE4 18A1 B1CF 0FE5 3DD9 / ---------------------------------------------------------------
