This bug has already been reported, multiple times. Thanks for the patch, though. > So my patch is just to comment out that code: That code is probably there for a reason. Can you assure us that your patch does not break things horribly? (Yes, I've tracked that bug that far myself too, but since I did not write dpkg nor is the code well documented, I cannot be sure what is the correct fix. The current problem is mostly harmless - it's annoying at most - and has an easy workaround [--force-depends], so I wouldn't try to fix it unless i knew what the fix does and why it does not break other stuff.) -- %%% Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho % [EMAIL PROTECTED] % http://www.iki.fi/gaia/ %%% "... memory leaks are quite acceptable in many applications ..."
