Ok, I see that this functionality is provided by dpkg version 1.15.5.4 or newer. Ubuntu karmic uses 1.15.4 while jaunty uses 1.14.24. I find it troubling when the Haskell packaging progresses to a point where you can only build code on Debian Sid systems, we need to build applications for servers that are running (relatively) stable versions of the operating system. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
