I am sure I checked this out when I reported the bug, but I suppose I got it the wrong way around. Thank you for your explanation, which fully makes sense. Given the actual situation, I retract my bug report (which you already closed) and apologise for taking your time. It makes perfect sense to check this way! -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer and author: http://debiansystem.info `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP (sub)keys?
