I'm not sure if it would solve the occasional problem that I experienced though. Maybe if I was using apt it would. Anyways, I seemed to have uncovered a rare case where things will go wrong, when one does dpkg -i * on several files at once. If I'm correct, then gnus should depend on dpkg too, as it also uses md5sum Setting up gnus (5.10.6-0.CVS.20050610-1) ... install/gnus: Ignoring emacs. install/gnus: Byte-compiling for emacs21...found emacs21 ../usr/bin/ucf: line 554: md5sum: command not found /usr/bin/ucf: line 566: md5sum: command not found /usr/bin/ucf: line 242: md5sum: command not found done. [On 2nd try, worked] Or maybe dpkg should notice it is also upgrading itself, and thus upgrade and configure itself all in one step before configuring other files from the dpkg -i * command line. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
