I have too much on my mind ATM to wrap my head around this, so just a quick comment: /usr/share/doc/build-essential/list is wrong to use, I believe - I seem to recall that Debian Policy forbids relying on the existence of /usr/share/doc/ . Generally I am quite interested in suggestions for improving d-shlibs - its parsing is rather crude currently. Could you perhaps be persuaded to propose a patch? That saves us waiting for me having spare time and space in my head for really understanding the improvements that you suggest. ;-) - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
