True, but it also contains things like: apache-dev atlas-*-dev blacs-*-dev scalapack-*-dev Most of those seemed to be more akin to the gromacs situation: development packages that are only relevant to one particular piece of software, rather than the more general-purpose libraries represented in libdevel. (Not that there aren't some quirks... It's certainly odd that fftw-dev is in devel, but fftw3-dev is in libdevel.) > libdevel: > > Packages in the 'libdevel' section contain files required for building > programs that use libraries in the 'libs' section.

I should also add that the ftpmasters are the ones that moved gromacs-dev to 'devel' (I'd originally suggested it go in 'science' with everything else) -- and since they maintain the overrides file, I can't change the section myself. -- Nicholas Breen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
