Note that "package dependencies" are now defined differently than in 0.9.6 and 0.9.7; this previous format is not supported.

A description from wpkg-users mailing list by Dr. Frank Lee:

<pre>

The 'dependancy' just adds the packages to the list, which is then

installed in order of priority. If 'foo' depends on 'bar' being present

for 'foo' to install properly, 'bar' ought to have a higher priority than

'foo'.

In the example above, B should be set at a higher priority than A for

success. (I usually have 900-999 as the priority for OS patches, 700-799

for antivirus etc, 500-599 for 'mission critical' applications, 300-399

for useful things and 100-199 for end-user things like office. Even

numbered centuries are 'reserved for future expansion'...)
