Yep! Looks like "I am there" after a bit of fiddling. The package is different due to its history of being binary 'littler' before becoming 'r-cran-littler' so I needed an adjustment or two to also produce the virtual package little in the new scheme. And the -dbgsym now comes out as default, that is likely what #985898 had in mind. Thanks for the nudge! Dirk PS I think I may have one or two more ancient packages relying on cdbs which may not be as easy to convert... -- dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | [email protected]
