I tripped mentally over this several times, before I realised there's an ambiguous referent for “it” and “the package”. I suggest instead: - Sometimes, a package requires another package to be installed - <em>and</em> configured before it can be installed. In this - case, you must specify a <tt>Pre-Depends</tt> entry for - the package. + Sometimes, unpacking a package requires that another package be + unpacked <em>and</em> configured.
