I've not seen it touch any others.. > Also, this needs to be done as portable as possible. Are there any > distributions that don't use this directory structure? I don't know of any, it's possible there are. I think my original idea was that, since checkinstall is watching depmod run, it could just make a note that it's depmod and ignore any changes it made. I don't know how feasable it is to detect that a given process using installwatch.so is depmod though. -- see shy jo
