You got two responses, one of which was mine noting that different versions of a package in the Debian archive always share files, even if only /usr/share/doc/<package>/copyright. (If you need cc'ed responses then you need to say so or you usually won't get them.) dpkg doesn't support this, anyway. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
