Would replacing (please excuse the line wrap): for file in $(sed -e ':/etc/mailman:!d' -e 's:^[0-9a-f]* *::' /var/lib/ucf/hashfile); do
with for file in $(sed -e '\|^[0-9a-fA-F]\+[[:space:]]\+/etc/mailman/|!d' -e 's|^[0-9a-fA-F]\+[[:space:]]\+||' /var/lib/ucf/hashfile); do in /var/lib/dpkg/info/mailman.postrm (is this the right file?) allow me to safely purge 2.1.7-1 without having to compile and install 2.1.8-1 first? I assume the same would apply to Sarge users. Thanks, Roger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
