That makes it M-A: foreign.
I don't get why it wouldn't find duplicate files. The same I don't get why it would need to add that, in particular because you skipped the part about apt solution, would would avoid to "fix" (?) several packages. > If you could explain why you misunderstood the "When shouldn't I add > M-A: foreign?", I'll try and improve the wording. Well, if you start a paragraph saying "When the package is not arch-independent" that means to me it's arch:any, short-cut, that package is not requires a M-A: foreign. -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
