I'm really not sure what more you could be asking for. >> The fact that symlinks have to be changed by hand whenever one daemon >> gains a dependency on another, possibly in cascading fashion, is one >> such bug. > That's indeed an issue, but one which was never a big problem to > handle. Er, it certainly has been for the packages that I've been involved in maintaining. For one of them (openldap) there is no useful choice that makes everyone happy because the necessary dependencies can't be reduced to a simple numerical ordering without way too much cascading change. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
