Because the item you are depending on might be supplied by different packages in some circumstances. Done right, for example, it wouldn't matter if you got MySQL by installing the Red Hat mysql packages or the MySQL packages from the MySQL developer (unfortunately, that one is not done right...). If a package depends on having a generic Web browser, it shouldn't say "requires mozilla-x.x.x-yy", it should say "requires webclient". You can find out what packages satisfy requirements by using redhat-config-packages, up2date, or rpm --redhat-provides with the rpmdb-redhat RPM installed. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
