Right, well then I will not use that recipe.

Do you have a recommendation of how I may go about dependency checking for
programs that should be installed (using AAP, or do you recommend some othe=
r
software here...)?

As thats most of what my script will be doing, checking for versions (thats
the first aim, I'll worry about more advanced stuff later).

Thankyou,
Gareth
