Will you have a php4-ps binary package in php-ps or only a php5-ps? If the latter, this bug is what you should do except for the bug title. I also would advise you to wait till php-ps is at least in unstable before retitling this bug correctly. Cheers Luk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
