Just ask. :) Fixed for the next release. While I was at it, I also added the appropriate exceptions or special permission expectations for /tmp, /var/tmp, /usr/src, /var/local, and /var/lock. That should take care of all of the Lintian warnings or errors for base-files. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
