Fore login, I filed a bug report against ftp.debian.org. That's all I can do. makedev is "binary-all" (haha), because it was before the Hurd appeared. I think we will have binary-linux-all and binary-hurd-all someday, but there is little hope that it happens any time soon. Maybe if enough users complain (not here, somewhere else)? > * in ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/debian is something that looks > like forgotten package-fragments (just a cosmetical problem) I don't have write permission to this directory, that's why.

The Hurd has different values here, and this breaks some old programs which hard code them instead using macros. > Don't want to bug anybody, if this all is known and discussed > here, please ignore me. Not at all, they are all valid points. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
