Thanx for your advice, I'll create an empty default profile and try this. > Andre Ilie wrote: > It should be pretty easy to implement as you can use something like > the appendDependencies() function.

I think a big move in the right direction would be to respect the priority in reverse order when uninstalling (what is installed first with higher priority should be uninstalled last - after that with lower priority). And another thought: when the installation of a package fails, all dependend packages shouldn't be tried, but other non-depended packages - this helps e.g. in the following scenario: I have stations with different office packages installed - so I make one dummy package for O2K and another for O2K3 to test which version is there, and the updates depending from that packages are installed then. At the moment, wpkg stops at the first failing package (I know there has been a patch on the list to make it trying further after first stop) and I have to assign different profiles to each host according to the installed office version, which of course can be annoying with lot's of stations.
