Hi folks,
Following some discussion with Marco d'Itri about inetd, I'd like to
put forward some more general thoughts on virtual package handling for
some comments.
Currently, virtual packages (such as mail-transport-agent) cannot be
specified by themselves. They can only be used in combination with a
non-virtual package which provides the default implementation. For
example:
I just hope this is not true, because there are thousands packages in
the archive depending on libc6-dev, or libc6-dev | libc-dev. Both
libc6-dev and libc-dev are virtual packages on some architectures (such
as alpha or ia64).
