Package #2 has a runtime dependency on executables in package #1. When I use RUN_DEPENDS when creating package #2, the name of package #1 is put into package #2, and when package #2 is added, there is a check for package #1. The problem is that, by convention, the name of package #1 includes the version. So the dependency is on a specific version and fails if another version of package #1 is installed. Is there any way to declare that any version of package #1 can satisfy package #2's dependency? thanks, dtayl@rocketmail.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
