Right, but the drawback of shlibs.local as I recall is that it forces *all* intra-package dependencies to use the shlibs.local value, including any internal dependencies between the libraries in the package, and thus can create a different form of duplicate dependency where a package depends on itself. But I haven't tested this -- it's possible I'm misremembering. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
