There's a third solution: make grep depend on libpcre, use dlopen, but do not move the library to /lib. In that case, only scripts at boot time need to stay away from -P. I'd be glad though for any package that doesn't get pulled into by pbuilder tar.gz... Christoph -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.df7cb.de/
