Hi, I am a debian user not developer. I saw a reference to this bug in the debian web mail archives. The bug report was dated 6/97. I believe this refers to the same 4/97 Info Magick set I purchased. For whatever reason, in addition to ~100 missing symbolic links, there were 7 files totally missing. One was the xlib deb package. Using the packages file on the cd, I constructed a subtree on my disk with symbolic links having the pathnames in the packages file and linked to either the real file on the cd or for the missing 7 on my disk. Using this, debian 1.2 installed fine. I think dpkg can be forgiven not successfully installing a non existant file. This is sent in hopes that it helps you close this bug. I like your work! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
