[snipped] thanks for the nice explanation why. I understand, and I think i will use this chance to move to the better solution in the Hurd dpkg package (alas, because Ian starts from a very old dpkg, I can't wait for him to catch up and have to roll my own). > A native objdump-based dpkg-shlibdeps patch is available in the > debian-dpkg archives > (http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-dpkg-9901/msg00080.html). I'll get it. I didn't use the dpkg-cross one because it couldn't have a PATH for libraries, /lib was the only one it reckopgnized (/usr/lib not...). If this patch is better, it will be used or enhanced. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
