Hi Michael. It's hard for me to see exactly why any of the tools should create this directory. It seems to me that, if you want files to be put in a particular source directory, it's reasonable for the tools to assume that you have already created that directory. Can you explain why you think this is a bug? -- Ben Pfaff http://benpfaff.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
