You consider proprietary software developers to be competent enough to understand how Debian is supposed to work, and then create and maintain policy-compliant packages for their users? Hah. If they provide packages at all, they'll give you one package you're supposed to install. If you're lucky, it may have dependencies via the shlibdeps system. That's about it. One improvement that I can see is that the double-click action you're talking about would also run 'apt-get -f install' after installing the proprietary .deb to automatically install any dependencies. That's about it; all the rest is overkill. -- The amount of time between slipping on the peel and landing on the pavement is precisely one bananosecond -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
