Well, it's offtopic for this list (the machine doesn't even have Debian installed), but... I did swap the cards.

Re: building xfree 4.0.2-1
Hi, I belive this may have something to do with the version of dpkg you are using. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the X4.0.x packages require dpkg 1.7 and newer? - Tal On Mon, 15 Jan 2001 23:10:59 -0300, Carlos Barros wrote: > Hello! > > Im building 4.0.2-1 under potato.
