I agree with you that it is a bit irretating that deselect scans for ALL pakages ... I can see that it's done for consistency reasons, BUT it would be great if there was a switch to turn this off. Symlinks I have had NO problems with. I have a set of deb-packages on a zipdrive which I mount as vfat on /zipdrv and have a symlink to /zipdrv/debpack from /usr/local/ ... It works just great! /fax -- +- Fredrik Ax -+------ Snailmail ------+- Where to reach me on the net -+ | \\|// | Kämnärsvägen 13 E:202 | E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | @ @ | S-226 46 LUND, SWEDEN | WWW: http://www.df.lth.se/~fax | +-oOO-(_)-OOo--+-----------------------+--------------------------------+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
