Re: Apt, custom packages, and package dependencies

Apt, custom packages, and package dependencies

Re: Apt, custom packages, and package dependencies
I knew I would figure it out as soon as I sent this... I forgot to put commas between the package names in Depends and Pre-Depends. Oops. Nevermind, but thanks anyway.

You need to separate the dependencies with commas. Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
