Amazing. <whine> I sent a patch that did this, amongst other things, somewhere June 1999, and I didn't even get so much as an email saying ``we can't use your patch like this'', or ``bugger off'' ... I guess its moot now, but http://appel.lilypond.org/sofware/dpkg-1.4.1.3.jcn1.diff changelog: [...] * Fixed circular dependencies; configuration and compilation (and packaging) do not depend on an installed dpkg anymore. + Configure/build/package without dpkg installed; use newly built dpkg-* tools for packaging + Fixed dpkg-parsechangelog and dpgk-gencontrol '-L' switch + Added -L option to dpgk-gencontrol, passed on to dpgk-parsechangelog </whine> Greetings, Jan. -- Jan Nieuwenhuizen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GNU LilyPond - The music typesetter http://www.xs4all.nl/~jantien | http://www.lilypond.org
