With most packages, yes, but this seems to be an odd case - I get .debs named: cpp_3.2.1-1_i386.deb g++_3.2.1-1_i386.deb gcc_3.2.1-1_i386.deb and so forth - the version number is apparently being generated from debian/rules, rather from the changelog. I suppose it makes sense, as it's basically just a package of symlinks, but it is odd. But brief testing has shown that apt-get upgrade doesn't want to install over them, as they have higher version numbers than the ones in the archives. If I'm wrong, please correct me - this is observed behavior, rather than investigated fact. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | Guillotine, n.: A French chopping | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | center. | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
