yes, but it is impossible to build the packages from the .orig.tar.gz, i just filled a bug against this. the directory in the tarball is glib-1.1.5, but the package is named glib1.1.5, so it should be glib1.1.5-1.1.5 > > I believe we're talking about different dbuilds, but I could be > wrong... the dbuild from the dbuild.deb package ? > > > > > how do you actually use pgp ? there are two packages, pgp-i and pgp-us. both > > providing executables like their name, but no pgp binary. i had to do a > > symlink > > to one of them ... > > The postinst should create the symlink.

I think i will have to reinstall everything anew, so i will fix all the stuff, and also the stuff in /dev, because i forgot to add the p flag to tar ... Friendly, Sven LUTHER
