I think this is due to the way in which GTM has traditionally been organized. Bhaskar, Amul, please correct me if I'm wrong... All the files are installed in /usr/lib/fis-gtm/VERSION Including executables. I'm not sure how difficult it would be to move the executables to /usr/bin, given that GTM scripts and executables already expect to find things in /usr/lib/fis-gtm.

We were getting some Lintian warnings, but they were not as many as 267.

BTW, How about lintian warnings, would that also be a showstopper ? Luis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
