You have a point here. But the fellow DDs tend to not read docs (and they don't try out important packages from experimental as well). I might take the entry away in time for the trixie release, but I want DDs to see that. > btw: As for the request in the entry itself, I just saw a: > Setting up wireshark-common (4.4.5-1) ... > warn: The group `wireshark' already exists as a system group. Exiting. That's a bug. I'll keep this one open until it is fixed. We might re-work the existing_*_ok functions and add more test cases for that. Thanks for spotting this. Greetings Marc
