Nobody special-cases dpkg-reconfigure. Thus it's clear to I think that the combination install_info + dpkg-reconfigure + readonly /usr is rare enough to not be reported before. > Feel free to take this to debian-devel, though, if you still disagree.

Probably it's better if you tag this bug as "won't fix" until broader discussion. Fede. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
