Debhelper hasn't yet converted to full FHS compliance.

If possible (if they will function properly after it), strip them, according to the Policy guidelines. Compile them with the -fPIC option for the linker to get rid of the second error. chmod -x them to get rid of the third, and ignore the fourth error if no other library/executable will link to these files outside your package. It would be good to provide us with some more information - what kind of plug-ins are they actually? > > Please cc all mailing list replies to me, also. > > You are using mutt and have the Mail-Followup-To: header set to > [email protected], which mutt does automatically for you > unless you add "unset followup_to" to your .muttrc.

I noticed this header, but I don't know how to edit it 'in-place', i.e. on the screen where I'm editing other headers, just before sending the message. Is there such option? Or can I just use 'E' and add it myself (that is a bit painful)? -- enJoy -*/\*- spelled 'iosip', or simply 'joseph'
