Actually this is from installing 8.61-4 over in place of 8.61-3. 8.61-3 installed files outside of the Fink tree--though I would have thought the validator would have caught that: $ dpkg -L ghostscript | grep -v "\/sw\/" /. /private /private/etc /private/etc/cups /private/etc/cups/pstoraster.convs /sw /usr /usr/libexec /usr/libexec/cups /usr/libexec/cups/filter /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstopxl /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster /usr/share /usr/share/cups /usr/share/cups/model /usr/share/cups/model/pxlcolor.ppd /usr/share/cups/model/pxlmono.ppd 8.61-4 disables cups support so as not to install these files, and dpkg is just warning you that it isn't going to delete files and directories that aren't empty because you have stuff there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
