Yeah, there's a fix in unstable, but it hasn't made it into woody/testing yet. As far as I can tell, it's waiting for a release-critical bug to be fixed (which is actually a bug about this same topic on the version in testing, so is probably blocking itself from being fixed ... grr). >Second question: I decided to be brave: I removed libapache-mod-perl and >did > > apt-get --build source libapache-mod-perl > >This seemed to work but it installed stuff under ./debian/tmp rather >than the usual system locations.

Clearly this isn't the way it's supposed to be done! :-) It'll install things into debian/tmp (often debian/<package-name>, depending on the package), and then build a .deb out of that. This is pretty much the standard way Debian packages are built. You should find the .deb in the directory just above the unpacked source tree ... -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
