Yet I think there are exceptional cases. Usually, one dir should be owned by one package because other packages installing in the same location is usually depending on the most basic package -- making it the valid owner of some directory. But sometimes multiple packages without dependency on each other can install file into the same location. Pick gconf as example: which version of GConf should own /etc/gconf -- gconf1 or gconf2? Both are valid. Another one: /usr/share/dict. Currently all dictd dictionaries and "words" package install file there. Abel > > Okay... will fix...
