Current Debian policy contains a clause designed to allow people to do this without breaking things, although you may find that some packages don't conform to that policy (you can file bugs if they do). Doing this is something of a pain, though, as you have to repeat the process every time new packages are installed. Directory exclusion is on the wishlist for dpkg, and will solve this problem. > it would be nice if apt-get has an option to not install files > destined for /usr/share/doc/<package>. This is somewhat lower-level than apt-get. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
