[wpkg-users] Package Dependencies

[éric le hénaff]

hello
to my understanding,dependecies are not made to define an install order, 
but to define that a package is mandatory for another package to be 
installed... e.g. firefox has to be installed if we want to install 
flash player.
If you want to define an order for installing, use priorities instead.
