This problem has the two obvious solutions: either install a-2 and then b-2 or the other |
| 21 |
way around. But to be relevant to the current discussion you need to specify whether or |
| 22 |
not there are any pkg_{pre,post}inst functions. If there are too many then it becomes |
| 23 |
unsolvable and is probably a bug, as I already explained: |

| Not with current EAPIs we can't. |

| Labels are a cleaner solution to this. But again, we're discussing |
| 41 |
| current EAPIs here. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Labels seems to be another syntax for providing the same information as I proposed AIUI, |
| 44 |
i.e. finer-grained deps. |
