[EMAIL PROTECTED] [~]$ fink splitoffs netpbm-bin netpbm10 Information about 1923 packages read in 2 seconds. Information about 27 shared libraries read in 0 seconds.
netpbm-bin is a child, it's parent netpbm10 has 2 children: -> netpbm10-shlibs -> netpbm-bin
netpbm10 has 2 children: -> netpbm10-shlibs -> netpbm-bin so netpbm-bin has two parents
Ugh! That's quite a nasty trick. In particular it means that if I do this:
"fink install netpbm netpbm-bin"
Fink will *not* do what I expect it to do...
Why was this done? Why not "netpbm10-bin", which then "Provides: netpbm-bin" ?
and match_package doesn't account for this so neither can get_splitoffs see my other post on this topic.Well of course they don't account for this, because when I wrote the splitoff's code this was never an intended use of splitoffs...
