All previous versions left the files, less the suffixes. The preinst adds the suffixes to hide them from dpkg. I will add your patch as it makes the script more robust. I won't be able to get to it until this weekend. While this is a bug, I don't think that it qualifies as 'serious'. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Elmwood, WI USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
