A bigger problem is that quite some potato packages depend on a later debhelper to be built on slink. Later debhelpers don't build on slink because they need Test.pm which isn't installed with slink. If there only were a debhelper > 2.0.51 for slink, running slink wouldn't be such a pain. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
