Definitely incorrect. What's happening is that shlibs is returning no dependencies, or you're not running it. If you've commented out dh_shlibdeps in your debian/rules file, then remove the ${shlibs:Depends}, section from debian/control, otherwise comment it out and remove the ${shlibs:Depends}, section anyway. :) d -- Daniel Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <Nuke> "can NE1 help me aim nuclear weaponz????? /MSG ME!!"
