a) circular dependencies do *not* cause problems; dpkg, dselect (& presumably apt) handle them just fine. The only thing that might not is users. b) A dependency for the sake of nothing more than a /usr/doc/ symlink is broken. I suggest you make an /usr/doc/e-theme/ which contains the copyright and changelogs, nothing more. Symlink-ing of /usr/doc/$package should be only done to packages which the original package already Depends: on for other reasons. -- James ~Yawn And Walk North~ http://yawn.nocrew.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
