Fine, I was worried about the linda Error (lintian doesn't report it). I also checked other X plugins and found the same, but as they are packages along with xserver-common it's not exactly the same situation as mine. So, may I go on and forget about those W: and E:? I'm going to write a manpage for the utilities and I'll be done ;) thanks -- mattia :wq! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
