In this particular case, "e2fslibsg recommends e2fsprogsg" would probably be nice, though I know it's not always that simple; I imagine the general case would be messy, like, e2fslibsg would have to recommend e2fsprogsg if and only if e2fsprogs was previously installed.

This I understand, I'm still using sLirp compiled for libc4. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
