Debian policy, 2.2.1, about packages in main: | must not require a package outside of main for compilation or execution | (thus, the package must not declare a "Depends", "Recommends", or | "Build-Depends" relationship on a non-main package) Recommends is for packages usually needed, but not strictly required. You should suggest instead, or find replacement. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
