Depends on where you get your packages from. Often, packaging is done *very* poorly, a reason why I never installed a contrib package (or now a Fedora extras package) without looking at the spec file and sometimes redoing the whole packaging. In short: you have to do your own QA or you have a good chance of making a mess out of your system pretty fast... -- -- Jos Vos <[email protected]> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- Taroon-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/taroon-list
