Ok, that's not good. Please remove charset.alias from the coreutils binary package. There's no reason to provide it. As far as readlink(1) is concerned, I guess it makes sense to use the coreutils version and remove the cygutils version. What about uptime? I guess it should stay in procps, and not be packed with coreutils to keep problems at a minimum. > It looks like I will have > to make a -2 release soon to get rid of these packaging conflicts. I guess, yes. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader mailto:cygwin@cygwin.com Red Hat, Inc.
