And what if dpkg knows about it and handle arch-independant packages in a different way? In fact, if the system is multiarch, dpkg should have a centralized list of which packages are installed for each architecture and which packages are installed for arch: all... But there's still the problem of arch-independant files inside arch-dependant files (maybe an arch-dependant package should not include arch-indenpendant files at all)... daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
