There is an updated pull request by ahesford against master on the void-packages repository https://github.com/ahesford/void-packages docs https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/21990 Manual.md: expand description of virtual packages Please check my expanded description of virtual packages for correctness. I thought the concept could use a bit more clarity. A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/21990.patch is attached
