Hi all, Just wandering about the frozen distribution, I looked at plotutils_2.1.6-1.deb. With dpkg --info, I get
new debian package, version 2.0. size 797944 bytes: control archive= 686 bytes. 517 bytes, 13 lines control 250 bytes, 14 lines * postinst #!/bin/sh 58 bytes, 4 lines * prerm #!/bin/sh 33 bytes, 1 lines shlibs Package: plotutils Version: 2.1.6-1 Architecture: i386 Depends: libc6, libc6 (>= 2.0.7u), plotutils (>= 2.1.4-1), xlib6g (>= 3.3-5) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The package depends on an earlier version of itself. Is this aceptable `package idiom', or a bug? Eric -- E.L.
