Understood.

> upgraded or removed) and so any dependencies they may have needs to be
> specified so that rpm will ensure those dependencies are present when the

> something called in the scriptlets is not sufficient.

Thanks for the heads up,I was indeed not aware of the differences. I am reading
the information I can find for this.

> The "many duplicates in files" issue refers to the duplicated documentation.
Thanks.

Re. the md5 inclusion: would it help if I make a separate libmd5 package? I
whipped up a quick autofoo configuration, so I could package this as a separate
package. I would not know what license to put in the spec file.... If that
would help I can add a simple check for libmd5 in ffgtk's config and be done
with it. comments?
