Two naive/luser questions :

- how to reproduce, i think it is necessary,  the deb soft deps <-> rpm
upstream  (e.g. not the SuSe ) soft deps translation ? Do you thinks exists
1-1 corrispondence ?

- This is histerical i suppose, so sorry in advance : if it is possible to
translate file  deps to package deps, the only deps deb know, why are rpm
file deps necessary ? Or, posted in other way, the rebutal nr. 7 of "Reply:
Top 10 Problems with RPM" (*http://tinyurl.com/6p9emx) * is it always valid
for you ?

Thanks in advance

Elia
