It does not explain the others (unless they are also changing name as they move group) Specifically, why does kbd provide another package (console-tools) that already exisits? Why don't they both provide a virtual package that allows you to pick one and on which other packages depend? the man page does say PROVIDE shouldn't be use for anything else! thanks, Nick On Fri, 2003-05-02 at 02:45, Daniel Armyr wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > I think this is part of how packages are moved from one categoryy to > another.
