Where to find information about those files easily? Negative search on `dpkg -L *' ?:) What i mean is absolute freedom in maintainer scripts. Bad freedom, where scripts can do anything they like. No comprehensive logging/tracing infrastructure at all, everything is ad hoc. Also RC scripting. But this is another story, though. ____ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
