Fair point. 3. Once a new nodejs package providing /usr/bin/node is in the archive, other packages in the archive are free to depend on the nodejs package and use /usr/bin/node . ? > I'm not sure I see (yet) why the being "allowed to depend on > nodejs-legacy" needs to be part of the resolution. It doesn't need to per se. We could probably get away with just repealing the previous resolution since there's nothing else providing /usr/bin/node, nodejs would be free to do so. However, I'm asking if it would make sense to add it to add clarity, or if it actually muddles the water. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are
