This just brought to light a potentially useful function that's currently lacking in pkgdb: the ability to add a new dependency to an installed package. Up until now, I've been manually adjusting Xorg font dependencies by translating XFree86-fontScaleable to xorg-fonts-type1 (although I do tend to believe that both xorg-fonts-type1 and xorg-fonts-truetype are needed to fully counterpart the XFree86 package). Unfortunately, there is currently no way to tell pkgdb to add xorg-fonts-truetype as an additional dependency to the installed packages that need it. This would be a nice addition to pkgdb's functionality, I believe. -- Conrad J. Sabatier -- "In Unix veritas"
