Thanks - that's what I suspected but it wasn't entirely clear when I was
reading it. The problem I have is that many packages install files into
a directory that in a real environment is actually a symlink to a
different directory created by the base package. If they are unpacked
before the other package then things break The only two options I see
are for the packages to explicitly pre-depend on that package OR for
each package to manually move all of the installed files into the actual
directory in their debian/rules. Listing a pre-dependency for each
package thus seems a less pessimal solution. But am I missing something
here? Is there a better solution?
Thanks again!
