But then does this not now mean that every user of Tickit /always/ has to have Alien::libtermkey installed just to build it, even those users who install the entire lot via some sort of OS distribution packages, where such things ought not be required? I'm finding it hard to picture how this all works without debian requiring a libalien-libtermkey at build time. I suppose, it would only be a build-time dependency and not a runtime one, so only needed to compile libtickit-perl, but still it feels slightly odd to me. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leon...@leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/
