Oh, you're right. Though it would have been a good idea to not close the bug but reassign it to exult-studio, like I'm doing now. Though there _is_ something fishy with aptitude interpretation, I'll try to dig up the other package again. :) exult-studio maintainers: Please put two spaces infront of the long description when you do preformating, otherwise the output looks really weird. Take a look at <http://packages.debian.org/unstable/games/exult-studio> for instance. Thanks, Alfie -- The following two statements are usually both true: There's not enough documentation.
