I already have these common packages in a local repository. They Provide some common config settings, e.g. for exim4, rsyslog, logrotate, local certificates, fonts, etc. Most important: They depend on and recommend large lists of packages, helping to keep all hosts in sync. For openssh I have the problem that I can only override the whole ssh_config and sshd_config files. I cannot *extend* them. I had hoped to avoid the dpkg-divert. Regards Harri
