I think that there are several issues here but wonder if I see the right ones.
Is isn't one of the problems with not using make kpkg that you may accidently "upgrade" a kernel using dselect? I don't know (yet) how the preinst scripts handle kernel dependencies but if they use the files in var then dependencies might be a problem under some conditions, yes? How about the includes for gcc? Is there a potential for problems trying to upgrade them if you upgraded a kernel manually? -bill ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
