You claim that you want a supportable system. How does telling lies about the packages help? By installing a package with incorrect dependencies you've caused just as much chance of damaging the operation of the system, but the packaging system is now completely unaware of it and the system is more likely to be unmaintainable. If you tell the packaging system to override dependencies, then it's got a record that you've done it and can do something about it later (even if that's just telling you what a fool you were). -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
