Excuse me, i am not sure if i underestand well, "Provides: wicd-client" where? in debian-mentors description? > Also, if it only depends on Qt libs, it would be better IMVHO if you (or > upstream) named it "wicd-qt", to stay consistent with other clients > (wicd-gtk > and wicd-curses).

I just give that name because it was the original author's given name. But he is very happie with my intention to package it for debian and i know for sure that he doesn't care how i name it. So wicd-qt would be grate. But.. are you talking only about the package name or also the binary name? I'll send an email to him just to be sure, maybe he also wants to change it in upstream if i finally find a sponsor. > Thank you, > David > > No, thank you. I really want to make this work and your email motivates me so much. Iker
