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)
