My quick thought would be: Build different binary packages, i.e. foo-package-a depends on package-1 and package-2 and foo-package-b depends on package-3, where foo is, probably, the common name for your packages. That's all. I hope this could reach what you were expecting. -- David Moreno Garza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | http://www.damog.net/ People bitched at me to learn a foreign language so I learned Perl.
