IMO, this is probably just historical cruft we have to deal with, unless as you say, we're going to add a dpkg --status, or whatever to check for the old versions. I know in the "old days" you weren't supposed to invoke dpkg recursively. Is that no longer true? I suppose, if dpkg is a no-no, we could always use some other test, say checking for /usr/bin/emacs19 or similar... -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP=E80E0D04F521A094 532B97F5D64E3930
