They have been recently merged but no new package installed with the dependency. (Anyway, I don't think it is a good idea to depend on a specific window manager and t force users to install it just for the configuration.) > If you are the one handling the pre-defined profiles, Yes, I am. > one isn't your problem.

Hmmm! This is painful if we cannot trust formal dependencies! But the description explains clearly he problem, so I checked that xserver-vga16 is always there (it's useful as a fallback, anyway), since, at the present time (I hope one day will come where we will be able to use pre-defined tasks later), my files are used only for new installations. OK, xserver-vga16 is always there, there should be no problem. -- http://www.debian.org/~bortz/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
