I don't like the idea of extending out the installonly to things it depends on as well. There's a lot of unnecessary magic involved and it only complicates the process especially considering how horky the installonly concept is anyway. > Really cool would be to add an additional note in the error message: > Current message: > Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies > Error: Package kernel-syms needs kernel-source = 2.6.11.4-20a, this is > not available. > > Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies > Error: Package kernel-syms needs kernel-source = 2.6.11.4-20a, this is > not available, because kernel-source is in update mode (versus install > only mode). Sounds like something for the callback to investigate, I think. I need to think of a smarter way of getting the right info to the depcheck callback. thanks, -sv
