You can rely upon things in the RDEPEND chain and things in system being there. You can't rely upon things merely in a DEPEND chain. If you do rely upon RDEPEND chain items, you should be aware that if a new version of a package comes out and removes one of the items, stuff breaks. It's generally not a good idea to get toooooo over-reliant upon nth level deps because of this (but equally, don't go over the top). -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaranm at ciaranm.org Web : http://ciaranm.org/ as-needed is broken : http://ciaranm.org/show_post.pl?post_id=13
