So, we need dpkg's install-info to support multiple entries. This most likely won't happen for woody(we are near the end of a freeze). Wichert, I want this to be fixed for 1.10. So, don't upload 1.10, until either you or I(or some other kind soul) fixes this, k? Maybe this might be time for a rewrite of that, or maybe using some other install-info. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
