That's why I suggested a *cacheing* system for the text database. Every write

I know that, but dpkg/apt is a huge pile of source. I'd like to know what
order I should read things in, so not to get too confused with too many
forward references.

After reading and rereading the Developer's Reference and the QA

added a RFA, as per your suggestion. Attached is the intended

What is still missing is

I've just uploaded version 3 of libpcre.
I've put it in a new package, libpcre3, and given it a new soname. I'm not
sure if this was strictly necessary or not: the upstream documentation
doesn't mention binary compatibility with the old version, probably because
older versions weren't intended to

The Nautilus deb depends on "libgtkhtml4 (>= 0.6.1-1)".

I can't find a package that provides that anywhere. I'm wondering

Thanks for any help you can give, and thanks for packaging this.
