Well, I can understand Scott's concern: if each and every internal error message in dpkg suggests reporting a bug, he will need more help to maintain the package.... However, this could only be a matter of phrasing the message suggesting users to report it. Something like: "After checking that nothing in your local setup is likely to trigger this error, you may want to report it to the software maintainers.....blah blah" I guess you get the point. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
