Note that it is not required to build a "native" package and that many people who are building a package specifically for Debian and are also the Debian maintainer still will produce a non-native package. > I would appreciate if someone could point me to such a package, I > haven't seen one so far (always comes in three files: *.dsc, tarball > and diff). These can be located by the version number. Non-native packages have an upstream version plus a package release version. Native packages have only a single version without a dash. dpkg -l | awk '$3 !~ /-/' All of those listed by that command would represent packages installed on your system that do not have a dash in the version number. No dash means no package release number means this is a native package. Here is another way to look for packages that do not have a dash in the version field. sudo apt-get install dctrl-tools grep-available ! -F Version - -s Package Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
