A local admin could choose to tell dpkg to not install /usr/share/doc/*/*changelog* via the path-exclude option. Alas, I have not been able to get this to work when I last tried that two and a half years ago. The corresponding wishlist bug was a five-digit number bug from the last millennium. Has anybody gotten dpkg path-exclude to work? Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
