Where did you get this package from? On the debian mirrors it appears to be listed in lowercase and is also in lower case in the Packages files. Policy section 2.3.1 says that all package names must be lower case. It looks like the control file for the mosaic package is incorrect. > > [06:18:54 shaul]$ bug -d mosaic > Package mosaic doesn't seem to exist! > Submit bug anyway?

You can manually submit a bug to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or contact the maintainer directly, see http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting for the correct syntax. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
