Bullshit. > Since 15 months Debian GNU/Linux include apt by default... Yes. And if everyone would have helped to port it and fix the remaining problems, we would have had it earlier, too. In fact, it is due to Brent Fulghams and Rolands effort that it was so easy to get it working now. But the fact is that it doesn't build from the current official source last time I checked, and it requires an libc and two apt fixes to get it working, so I can't upload it to ftp.debian.org. The tar file will only be made from ftp.debian.org packages, so it will inherit all bgs in the repository. This will help to not make them forgotten. > > The bsdutils on alpha.gnu.org should have been fixed.

Yes. Because the situation with util-linux is even worse. It's utterly broken for us. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
