Hello,
I'm still a little greenish around the gills with respect to the way debian does things ...
What am I doing wrong?
first off - don't send to the digest - send to the debian-users list.
Whoops. Sorry all.
<snip>Second - I'm not catching what you are trying to do here - but have you tried to use the apt tools?
$ sudo apt-get install hylafax-client hylafax-server hylafax-doc
I know how to use apt-get. I was just trying to show the simpler output of dpkg.
It doesn't matter if I use
sudo apt-get install hylafax-client hylafax-server hylafax-doc
or if I download the .debs and then install with
sudo dpkg -i hylafax-client_4.1.1-3_i386.deb hylafax-server_4.1.1-3_i386.deb
The result is still
~ > ls -l /etc/hylafax/
total 12

That bunches of stuff that are in the .deb packages don't get installed.

What is happening to /etc/hylafaxhosts.hfaxd?
Where is /etc/hylafax/hfaxd.conf being installed?
Why is /etc/hylafax/lutRS18.pcf nowhere to be found on the filesystem after the install?
Without those files, hylafax is useless. I _could_ just unpack the .debs and
install the files by hand, but that just defeats the point of a package manager
(not to mention it might be glossing over something seriously hosed with my
system)
