Well, then I have a question. I had the .debian-ized source for a program that required a newer lib than I had. I compiled it, but it still claimed to need the lib anyway. I used a --force option to install it in the end, and it worked fine. Is that the way it should have been done? Ciao! -- Tuco: (reading a letter) See you soon idi... idi Blondie: Idiots.
