Subject: Package.el and specifying alternative dependencies
Date: Fri, 3 Mar 2017 11:41:23 +1100	[thread overview]

Is there a way to specify alternative dependencies in a package?

Situation: installing a package is resulting in an additional package being
installed even though the dependencies for the package have already been
satisfied by another package. This results in two packages being installed
which provide overlapping functionality.

Example. I have installed org-plus-contrib. I then install elfeed-org,
which has a dependency on org. This results in the org package being
installed, but org is already installed as part of the org-plus-contrib
package.

I'm trying to work out if this is a problem with how dependencies are
defined in the elfeed-org package or is it a problem with how
org-plus-conrib is specifying what dependency it satisfies? Need to know in
order to determine where this issue needs to be logged.
