I like this option, along with some text in the long description field of the control file explaining that one or more of the utilities use Tk, but that Tk is not required for other parts of the package. : 3) Create a single package with wrappers for Tk based binaries which : check for Tk and quit gracefully with a suggestion to install : Tk. (could also be useful with 2) I don't like wrapped binaries, but if it's done cleanly, I guess this would be ok. If it were me, I wouldn't bother... solution 2 with text in the description explaining why the 'suggests' is there is sufficient. Bdale
