I would have to say that's not RC. The package itself is installable, it just may require the user to manually pick the dependencies (and with aptitude this doesn't have to be done manually either). > If I try to install both of them together, it works, butI get > libapache-mod-php5 (to satisfy libphp-adodb's deps ; note that it's > libapache, not libapache2) and libapache2-mod-php4 (to satisfy mydms' > deps).

Right, this happens all too often with php packages, too.

Dunno, but that's for the maintainer to decide now. :) Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
