That requires that gcj-jre (well, libgcj) has that info available and wouldn't change it without notifiying maintainers of -gcj using packages. It already has a .shlibs, why point to the libgcj-bc package, which *is* in the dependencies, though: # dep: libgcj-bc (>= 4.4.5-1~) Link time only library for use with gcj # dep: libgcj-common (>= 1:4.1.1-14) Java runtime library (common files) Apparently that doesn't help much, and there's no other info. I don't think having a strict dependency on the newest gcj is an option, really? Besides that if you e.g. build with 4.4.4 and 4.4.5 breaks the stuff (or 4.4.4-1 and 4.4.4-2 for that matter) a >= 4.4.4-1 would still break. And a strict = depends on gcj is even more nonsense.. I honestly don't see how this is fixable. Grüße/Regards, René -- .''`.
