Well, you can't represent that mechanism in a Debian (or RPM) package dependency. So the alternatives are make it a Recommends and add a free-form explanation somewhere, or make it a hard Depends, thus overriding the fine-grained dependency setup. More to the point, I think any mechanism we dream up here that is smarter than what dpkg or rpm can represent is going to be useful only in niche situation. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
