Should ucf be 'required' to avoid that?
ucf being priority required is not sufficient. It is still possible to remove such a package (mawk is a good example) and therefore you would still need to execute ucf conditionally. The only way around that is to make ucf essential, and I don't think that's a good idea. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 713 440 7475 | http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
