But the problem is that it's uninstallable (from what I see, a package can need another program to compile or execute, but not a hard-dependency on an inexistent package). Packages that need programs from outside our archive should at least be installable, right? Can't the dependency on oracle-instantclient-basic be downgraded to recommends and a README.Debian be created, explaining that oracle-instantclient-basic is needed? So at least the package can be installed. Thank you! Best regards, Nelson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
