Nope. In our policy, it is your responsibility as package maintainer to ensure that your package is "invariant" with regard to the build environment.Ben Hines <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:[...]Well, the real problem is your fault, you missed a dependency when making the package, and we missed it when verifying. :)Well, I do not view it that way, of course :-). Scsh does *not* depend on dlcompat, it works perfectly well without it. However, if dlcompat is installed, and if it can be found by configure when scsh is built, then it's used. Therefore, I really see this as a problem with the binary distribution, because "fink install scsh" *always* works (i.e. scsh does work on a bare OS X system) whereas "apt-get install scsh" currently works only if dlcompat is installed.
It's a goal that we strive for, though. Like most goals in the world, you may never be fully able to achieve it, but so far we are actually pretty close.I really do not think that it's realistic to ask package authors to think about possible interactions between their package and every other Fink package, current or future.
