The only reason that I have not updated it is that I simply did not know that there were updates to it. Unfortunatly I have a bit too many packages to maintain and do not regularly check all packages, whether they are the most recent version or not. Now when I look I see that there is actually a wishlist bug against the package that I must have missed. Do you know if any Debian bugs has been fixed with this release? http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=libnet-pcap-perl;dist=unstable Best regards, // Ola > > > Thanks in advance > > -- > Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni > > Close the world, txEn eht nepO. > > -- --- Inguza Technology AB --- MSc in Information Technology ---- / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Annebergsslingan 37 \ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] 654 65 KARLSTAD | | http://inguza.com/ Mobile: +46 (0)70-332 1551 | \ gpg/f.p.: 7090 A92B 18FE 7994 0C36 4FE4 18A1 B1CF 0FE5 3DD9 / --------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
