Ok Many times I'd like to get a file from a package just for examinate/study it, like a script in /etc/init.d, a man page, a readme from doc, a logrotate file, a config file in /etc/ ... but I don't want to install the package.
Suppose you are talking via telephone with somebody you are helping with a trouble in a server who has installed a package, and in your environment you can't install this package and can't have access to another server with it. You would like just compare a file with the original and see the diff. >From I openned this bug I downloaded, like an example: asterisk.logrotate phpgwaccount.schema saslauthd.conf 50unattended-upgrades Thanks you and sorry my english Thijs Kinkhorst wrote: > Hi, > >> So, I know my example is not a patch.
