I was the one who warned Roberto about dinstall doing a lintian check of uploaded packages prior to installing. These were my exact words: =====> BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT <===== Your package hass to be able to pass a check with lintian before it will be installed in the archive. The scripts that do the actual installation of a package into Debian do a lintain check, and if the package fails, it is rejected. =====> END INCLUDED TEXT <===== I failed to make the distinction between lintian warnings and errors, WRT how dinstall deals with them.... > Well, there's dirty and there's dirty. :) Warnings are "dirty". Errors are "Dirty". :^) Mia culpa....
