A few weeks ago, while upgrading from slink to potato, during the install process, I answered "yes" to a prompt to byte compile the newly installed files. Since then, whenever I have installed new packages (apt-get -install or apt-get -update -dist-upgrade) the files are bytecompiled when installed.
This is not the behavior I want from apt/dpkg, particularly since the installer seems to remove the (for example) *.el files after byte compiling, so I cannot modify the original files. I have not been able to figure out how to remove the instruction to byte compile incoming files - any help or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks -- Peter Mickle [EMAIL PROTECTED]
