Firstly, you can't really Depend on and then Replace a package at the same time. Package management is a small part of configuration management, there are definitely better ways of building turnkey solutions than trying to fit it all into the package manager. Tools such as cfengine and isconf are designed to perform the automatic configuration of systems outside of the package management, so that you don't run into the problems you're having. You can then perform package management as part of the greater operation of configuration management, by describing to these tools which packages a machine should and shouldn't have on it. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~jaq -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
