BTW, there are 3 other ways to work around the bug: 1) place shadow's login, su et al. in /bin/login.shadow, /bin/su.shadow and so on (when packaging for the Hurd) 2) use diversions 3) use alternatives what do you think? > > You mean "override" files, like e.g. dpkg-scanpackages > > uses?

Judging by your description it's quite the same file, e.g. I have the next line in /usr/src/custom/overrides: > kernel-patch-ntfs2 extra devel Because I have pretty small repository of my custom pkgs, I'm almost satisfied by such simple and rather limited tool as dpkg-scanpackages, and don't know details of what Debian uses. -- WBR, xrgtn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
