Package: quilt Version: 0.42-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch The description for this package needs work. I mean... describing those of us who don't use cdbs as fools? Come on. I'll note that xorg-x11 makes extensive use of quilt much to its benefit, but cdbs is in no way suitable for it, just to provide a counter-example.
Attached is a patch to remove this, as well as clean up some grammatical errors in the description. - David Nusinow -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages quilt depends on: ii bzip2 1.0.2-11 high-quality block-sorting file co ii diffstat 1.41-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii gawk 1:3.1.5-1 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and pr ii gettext 0.14.5-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii libc6 2.3.5-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii patch 2.5.9-2 Apply a diff file to an original quilt recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
