Hey Colin. Thanks for the feedback. I think autopkgtest(1) is a good route to go if I wanted to test it after the package had been generated and installed. But this is really the kind of test I'd like to perform before all of that while still within the build tree. -- Kip Warner | Senior Software Engineer OpenPGP signed/encrypted mail preferred https://www.thevertigo.com
