Automatic handling of dependencies is a key feature of Debian. All of the Apt front-ends (Apt-get, Synaptic, Aptitude) deal with dependencies automatically. Dpkg is the "core" package manager that Apt (a library) uses to do the actual package installation. It does not handle dependencies (though it detects them): this is handled in Apt. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
