On the other hand, you have to take into account the extra rpm db space needed by another package. Might be tiny, but as I just upgraded some 10.3alpha to today's snapshot, new packages like ConsoleKit drippled in and I ought to ask: what for does PolicyKit and ConsoleKit need to be split from hal.rpm if hal has a hard dependency on them? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
