I'd have to think about this, and I don't have the time to carefully right this minute, but off the top of my head, when would this happen? If a package depends on another, then AFAIK its postinst shouldn't be run until after the postinst from the package it depends on has been run. And during an upgrade of an emacsen flavor, all of the add-on packages usually need to be recompiled, and that's already handled in the "right order" via tsort. I'm probably missing something... -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP=E80E0D04F521A094 532B97F5D64E3930
