I would reckon that in a case like this, manual intervention is recommended. I don't want to introduce heuristics which will break other packages for corner cases like this. If you want to write a personal patch for uscan, what you would probably want is to look through all the matching directories, then collect all of the matching files from all of the directories, and use the newest of those. But in most cases that would also be an unnecessary amount of downloading. Julian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
