I'm afraid you're wrong there; I have some binNMUed packages here and they do *not* indicate the source version. $ dpkg -I liboo2c_1.5.9-3.0.1_powerpc.deb | grep Source Source: oo2c I know of no non-heuristic way to find the exact source version associated with a binary-only NMU. > so no version number fiddling is needed to find the source (which > would be impossible too, is 1.2-0.0.1 a binary NMU of 1.2, or of > 1.2-0? Though nonstandard, the latter isn't forbidden) katie tries both of those possibilities. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
