WARNING: The package mozilla Depends on mozilla-dev, but mozilla-dev only allows things to BuildDepend on it.

You as a fink user can safely ignore any and all of these BuildDepends violation warnings. They are only meaningful to and fixable (and only sometimes!) by the maintainers of the package(s) noted. If you want to tell someone about it, email those maintainers (as listed in "fink desc mozilla" for example, or on the fink website package database pages).

Just wondering - why present the user with warnings at all, if he is just supposed to ignore them? Why not have an option to suppress them, configurable via fink.conf? That way the developers and maintainers could enable these warnings, but users wouldn't be troubled by them. The default would be to suppress warnings.
