Generally speaking, packages shouldn't be installing to /var/www either, they should be installing to /usr/share or similar. Personally, I'd just copy the files if I was going to modify themq, and/or use Directory/Location directives in the apache configuration files to avoid having multiple copies if I wasn't. [There's no real need to worry about backing the files up if you don't modify them, as you can always just reinstall the package to get them back.] -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com Vimes hated and despised the privileges of rank, but they had this to be said for them: At least they meant that you could hate and despise them in comfort. -- Terry Pratchett _The Fifth Elephant_ p111 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
