That's almost what I want to have happen, but this seems only
portupgrade will use that (and I couldn't actually get the ALT_PKGDEP to
work). But I probably need something that changes the @pkgdep, because
I want to be able to install the packages I create on other machines, too.
It doesn't really matter for that package because I won't be able to use
SASL anyway, since I'm going to authenticate Tru64 against this server
and it has to have direct access to the userPassword attribute, which
seems like a mostly braindead way to do it.
Thanks for your response.
