As I understand it RPM packages both provide and require things (ignoring other types of dependency), and provides are used to resolve requires. However, as I understand it debian packages only have requirements which must be packages. If more than one package can provide something they have to require a metapackage, which is still a valid package. So listing the packages a package requires makes more sense on debian systems.
No, this is not true. Debian packages can require "bash | tcsh | zsh", which rpms can't. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
