Humm. I don't seem to have a /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg on my testing/unstable box. Is that a typo in the man page or a missing file? /var/lib/dpkg/info/dpkg.list shows a /usr/share/doc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg so I guess the man page assumes we have copied that dpkg.cfg into /etc/dpkg. :-) WT -- The Queue Principle: The longer you wait in line, the greater the likelihood that you are standing in the wrong line. _______________________________________________________ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
