I'm new to Debian and to linux, and have two noob questions: 1. If package A has an abstraction that depends on an object from package B, is package B automatically installed when I install package A?
2. If package A has a help patch that uses an object from package B, is package B automatically installed when I install package A? -Jonathan --- On Thu, 11/11/10, Hans-Christoph Steiner <h...@at.or.at> wrote: > From: Hans-Christoph Steiner <h...@at.or.at> > Subject: Re: [PD-dev] Debian packaging: multi-object/single-file libraries or > single-object/multiple-files libraries? > To: "Roman Haefeli" <reduz...@gmail.com> > Cc: pd-dev@iem.at > Date: Thursday, November 11, 2010, 10:30 PM > > On Nov 11, 2010, at 3:54 PM, Roman Haefeli wrote: > > > On Thu, 2010-11-11 at 14:52 -0500, Hans-Christoph > Steiner wrote: > >> I'm fine with whatever you want to do with > iemmatrix.
