I'm rewording the PMS sections on dependencies to avoid permitting |
2 |
overly lax circular dependency resolution. Which of these wordings is |
3 |
accurate, given that usable means "has its RDEPENDs installed and |
4 |
usable"? |

|
6 |
1. During pkg_preinst and pkg_postinst, any package dependency that is |
7 |
in both DEPEND and RDEPEND must be installed and usable. |

|

2. During pkg_preinst and pkg_postinst, at least one of the following |
10 |
conditions must be met: |
11 |
a. every package dependency in DEPEND must be installed and usable |
12 |
b. every package dependency in RDEPEND must be installed and usable |

Do not attempt to write on both sides of the paper at once. |
