Fwiw, from my own perspective; not allowing mismatches if file exists makes perfect sense. Also GLEP says: * MISC entries where the file is missing may optionally be ignored as by non-strict package managers. * It should be possible to install a package while all MISC entries have been deleted from the tree. -- Kristian Fiskerstrand OpenPGP keyblock reachable at hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net fpr:94CB AFDD 3034 5109 5618 35AA 0B7F 8B60 E3ED FAE3
