no this isn't true as JFM showed us...

[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...
