Is there a dftp.conf setup I can use that doesn't require me to do some
sed work on the packages file? The paths are wrong for the mirrors in the
one that's on the servers now.

No! You cannot use libc5 compiled perl with glibc locales! Wait for a
libc6 version of perl and everything should be fine again.

This is too much strong. I would suggest to make their associated bug

perl was giving me errors when I had it set to en_GB (before I installed

G'day All,
Now that I've taked over ax25 utilites from Bruce, I'm slowly working on
the makefiles etc so that we will have a huge leap forward in versions to
the latest and greatest.

I think you should build a 2.1.x boot disk using the boot-floppies scripts,
since ax.25 is so much nicer in 2.1 it makes no sense to base new work on
2.0 . When you build the kernel, you get to decide what is a module and
what is not in the configuration menu.

I hope no-one minds that I've gone ahead and dome this without asking

I totally agree here. The Debian package format includes enough informatio
Hello!
I want to create a Packages.gz file for local files, i.e. on a CD-ROM
or ZIP floppy.
Using
dpkg --record-avail -R /usr/src/deb
it's possible to get the information "manually", but how can I write
it to a file??
(dpkg version was 1.4.0.8)
Thanks
