I don't think that a "general" mplayer installation needs a gui by default. Placing "smplayer | mplayer-gui" in Recommends would do exactly that for new installations. Therefore I think we should declare the dependency exactly like Fabian suggests, but place it in Suggests of the 'mplayer' package instead. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
