Hi! Wrt http://www.infodrom.north.de/Debian/Bugs/db/23/23323.html.
I wonder how we should cope with this:
pinepgp depends on pine and pgp
There is no pine package.
This prevents dselect from installing it.
There is pine-src and pine-diff which can be assembled into
a pine.deb.
I wonder if it ok to depend on a non-existant package or if pine-src
should provide pine or similar? Yes, I know that it is a source
package but I want to avoid showstoppers.
As a compromise I could think of adding a paragraph to the description
for pinepgp.
.
As we are not allowed to distribute a pine package you
have to install pine-src and pine-diff in order to compile
a pine packge out of it. After installing this you can
install pinepgp.
Something like that so users can get an impression why dselect
doesn't let them install it.
Regards,
Joey
