Even if you do this, udpkg is not capable of merging two Packages files, so it won't actually work properly. I had to hack tools/scanpackages to append all the files listed in the local section to the main filelist instead, thus effectively merging the Packages files. This works but is hacky. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
