Of course, a recompile dropping a program from /usr/bin most likely is a bug... I assume you use 'debdiff' that actually does those list you the differences in file lists? And also differences in dependencies, if a recompile introduces another dependency, it is worth fixing this now, because after sarge is released, this might cause problems in the future with security updates. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
