just for the records: 
these are not packman packages.
the packman packages contains a X.pm.Y in the release tag, the actual version 
is 0.116.1.

A lib-package normally doesn't contain a requirement to a program-package.

For my packages in the packman repository:
As a reaction of this thread, I uploaded new packages for jack and jack2.
They are now mutually exclusive and the user must change wich one to use. 
Formerly jack2 was handled as a update to jack.I followed also the idea from 
Torben to handle the jack-daemon like a library.

The "Requires" to the underlying library packages where already part of the 
packman packages. So I hope the problems of upgrading/changing the 
jack-versions are solved.


And a last note to Mr. Ralf Mardorf <ralf.mardorf at alice-dsl.net>
your posting in the linux-club community is very astonishing. You grab 
sentences from Paul and others from here and put them in a very very special 
context to fit your argumentation against SuSE distribution and especially 
the packman repository.

And words like "überhebliche Schwätzer" are very motivating.

have fun
