Okay; I'm actually going to leave it opened, since when I try to reproduce it, I get:
Core was generated by `/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst install'. and not "by `dpkg --unpack -D3 ...deb". This may well be due to some dpkg or gdb change. If so, then I would happiliy consider this bug to be understood and closable.. Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
