Please inform me about the loop you're > seeing. sysvinit-core and initscripts have Depends: sysv-rc | file-rc As I wrote earlier, once we drop Provides: sysv-rc from openrc, openrc would be uninstallable, unless we drop that Depends line altogether or add openrc as alternative. If we add openrc as alternative and make openrc depend on sysvinit-core and initscripts, then we have two loops. dependency loops are not nice, but they aren't the end of the world either. That said, I'm open to alternative suggestions how this should be done. A Conflicts: systemd-sysv instead of Depends: sysvinit-core is not a solution, as explained earlier. Dropping the Depends: sysv-rc | file-rc from initscripts might be possible. At least I don't see why it needs that dependency. So we'd still have the sysvinit-core <-> openrc interrelation ship. Any suggestions how to express the dependencies differently? Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
