Only one question left now, see following. Ok, so I guess your post on the debian-dpkg list does not need a reply anymore?

This is a packaging dependencies concept. I'll try to explain. Usually packages can declare dependencies on other packages, so that you can say that the dpkg package «Depends: libc6». Those two are real packages. Sometimes it's desirable to state that a package provides the same/equivalent functionality of another real package. So you could say that package acpica-tools «Provides: iasl». Some other times you want to state that a real package provides some abstract interface, for example X window managers like 9wm or aewm «Provides: x-window-manager». The packages listed in the Provides field are called virtual packages, because they do not need to exist as real packages. But those virtual packages in Provides fields can also be versioned, so they state that they are equivalent to a package with a specific version. So you could have real-package that «Depends: virtual-package (>= 1.0)», and another package other-package declaring that it «Provides: virtual-package (= 1.0)». Given the above, I'd assume the closer translation might be the one matching 1? 1. "提供" : offers a specific package version > P.S. It would be better that I had this done before jessie's freeze > :-( No problem, this will make it for 1.17.x, as the freeze policy was not correct regarding translation and documentation updates. It should have been fixed by now. Thanks, Guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
