No there ain't. There are some valid arguments why people who

Hi.
After RedHat 5.0 got released we noticably increased reatre of package
conversion and this is extremely good. The sooner hamm is relesed the
better. But we might consider other opprtunities to *increase* our
"market share" in current situation. The problem with RH 5.0 is that there

Is there a version of dpkg-ftp that fixes bug #10792 ?
(The symptom is that dpkg-ftp prepends dist/ instead of the correct
path to the files it's trying to download.)
Or is there a work-around for this?
If not, what is the recommend path for upgrading to hamm?

That's perfectly normal if you previously had e2fsprogs <= 1.10-6,
which does contain libcom_err !

I need to run some commands in the postinst of ifmail only if the user
is upgrading a previous. I tried:
if [ "$1" == "upgrade" -a -n "$2" -a "$2" != "" ]; then
if dpkg --compare-versions $2 le 2.12tx8.6; then

It occurs to me that one avenue for a safe upgrade to hamm might be
a jumbo-package.
This would basically be a hand crafted .deb that contained (and
provides) all the relevant sensitive packages.
The downside is that this approach is laborious to implement. The
upside is that this approa

It wasn't just renamed, it was split into e2fsprogsg and e2fslibsg.

I meant to add "I think". The above is what I see from the descriptions
that dselect shows me. dselect also lists the old package as
"required base", which was a bit unnerving when
