wow ! Thanks, may I ask what you did during the 1s you spare not copy/pasting the bug number. You're loosing everyone time: - mine (obviously) - yours in answering such a lame response - anyone else that will find my post after a google search Anyway I did search on google for a *while* before posting, and could not find anything. I did repeat the search again for the last 15min: long filename dpkg site:bugs.debian.org long apt site:bugs.debian.org long dpkg site:bugs.debian.org It returned only one bug, but that was solved in 2002: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=128388 Could you *please* give me the bug number, Thanks -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
