The next version of repair, which isn't quite ready yet, calls dpkg to find information about the package rather than make assumptions about the format of internal databases; I'll check that it looks for the right field name tonight. There are one or two other things that need to be resolved before I upload it. Thanks for taking the time to have a look at it! -- Richard Kettlewell [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.elmail.co.uk/staff/richard/
