Yes, this is not a good idea. You could do with a trigger on /usr/lib/ and a wildcard-expanding shell loop in postinst, which is also a tad fragile. dpkg-divert also has a small period in which neither is available. I don’t like this approach. If it’s just for not switching by accident, the Important: yes binary control field, which I mentioned in my other mail, is more apropos. bye, //mirabilos -- tarent solutions GmbH Rochusstraße 2-4, D-53123 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Tel: +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-235 HRB 5168 (AG Bonn) • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Stefan Barth, Kai Ebenrett, Boris Esser, Alexander Steeg
