> Having said all that, there's the .changes file for 1.9.8a: Hi Mike,
I got your latest packages from ftp.pixar.com. All in all, things look good. Here are my initial findings. The -dev package provides virtual ncurses-dev package but it also needs to conflict with it. The symlinks for lib*.so are in the runtime package. They should be in the -dev package. The shared libraries for form, menu and panel are in /lib. They should probably be in /usr/lib unless and until a boot-critical program needs them /lib. The symlink for libcurses.a is wrong. It should point to libncurses.a. There is no symlink for libcurses.so. There should be one in the -dev package. The runtime package installs the shared libraries as lib*.so.3.0.new and then renames them to lib*.so.3.0 in the postinst script. This is fine for not disturbing running programs when the package is being upgraded, but there is no provision for deleting the files when the package is removed. Again, I'd like to hear Ian Jackson's thoughts on adding special installation support for shared libraries to dpkg. David -- David Engel Optical Data Systems, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1101 E.
