[...] | Which leaves only the pathname :-). While diverting libraries is something that should be done with a bit of thought and great care, it is sometimes necessary. In that case, making sure the diverted library goes to a separate directory often makes sense to avoid confusing ldconfig. Therefore, I would like to be able to specify the path to be diverted to, not just the pathname to be diverted. I guess we could make it optional, so the common case would just be: debian/foo.divert: /bin/ls And the uncommon case: debian/foo.divert: /lib/libc.so.6 /lib/foo/libc.so.6 (Whose responsibility it is to ensure /lib/foo exists in that scenario is something I'm not completely sure about, but it probably makes sense for it to be dpkg, making sure it's root:root 0644). -- Tollef Fog Heen / Linpro AS t: 21 54 41 73 UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
