Package: e16 Severity: normal Attached is a patch which I believe fixes this problem. Maybe debconf should be used to prompt instead of bailing out if there are unexpected files, but this is probably good enough.
[Note: this is from git, but I made my own git repo, hopefully that won't cause any problems. I'm a git newbie, really.] -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (100, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages e16 depends on: ii e16-data 1.0.0-3.2 e16 window manager support files ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-8 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libesd0 0.2.41-6 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Shared ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libice6 2:1.0.6-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libimlib2 1.4.2-5 powerful image loading and renderi ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-1 X11 client-side library ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.1-1 X11 Composite extension library ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.2-1 X11 damaged region extension libra ii libxext6 2:1.1.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxft2 2.1.14-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.1-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.0-2 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.5-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.0-2 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l Versions of packages e16 recommends: pn esound <none> (no description available) ii menu 2.1.43 generates programs menu for all me Versions of packages e16 suggests: ii e16keyedit 0.6-1 a keybinding editor for the enligh pn e16menuedit2 <none> (no description available) ii konsole [x-terminal-emulator] 4:4.3.2-1 X terminal emulator for KDE 4 ii rxvt-unicode-ml [x-terminal-e 9.06-3 multi-lingual terminal emulator wi ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 253-1 X terminal emulator -- no debconf information
