I would argue that using a versioned depends like "Depends: python2.3 (>=2.3)" is a bad idea. What does the extra version info give you in this case? The only reason to put a version on a "pythonX.Y" dependency would be if you know there was a particular version of pythonX.Y that your package doesn't work with. -- Donovan Baarda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://minkirri.apana.org.au/~abo/
