One change that you will notice is if the source control has Architecture: any (this package may be built for any architecture). In that case, the *binary* control file will have a specific Architecture: line.(i386 if built on that machine, etc.) Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
