Hi,
Trying to install a deb file with
dkpg-scanpackages ./ /dev/null |gzip -c -9 > packages.gz
I don't have dkpg-scanpackages but I have dkpg?
I do an apt-get install dkpg
and get I already have the newest version.
So is dkpy-scanpackages inside another package?
how would I find it?
Of course it is just there on my i386 install.
Running debian 3.1 on a b2600 2.6.8-2-64
Thanks for any insight, suggestions, links
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/parisc$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/dpkg-scanpackages
dpkg-dev: /usr/bin/dpkg-scanpackages
So dpkg-scanpackages is provided by dpkg-dev. dpkg-scanpackages isn't
used to "install a deb file", but I assume you know what you meant :)

Just another tip I use frequently in this case:
<http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages>
At this page's bottom you can "Search the contents of packages"
even by intall type (i.e. stable, testing, ...) and also by arch (i386,
hppa, ...), e.g. dpkg-scanpackages for stable & hppa
<http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=dpkg-scanpackages&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=stable&arch=hppa>
(well just like a common cmdl it dislikes my dyslectic key typing as
atp-egt in place of apt-get ;-| )
hth,
Joel
