Yes. In fact, I've used qmail before there was a .deb - the solution then was to use the equivs package. It's ugly but it works. Another solution would be to build a .deb on your own; when you're building a local .deb, you don't have to follow the Debian Policy so the packaging becomes quite easy¹ :-) Antti-Juhani ¹ But don't publish such a .deb :-) -- Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho A7 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ** <URL:http://www.iki.fi/gaia/> ** The FAQ is your friend.
