Change your section field in the control file to something like that : contrib/<section> Everything is explained in the developers-reference documentattion. Read it ! ----- Sometimes a package will change either its section or its subsection. For instance, a package from the `non-free' section might be GPL'd in a later version; in this case you should consider moving it to `main' or `contrib' (see the Debian Policy Manual for guidelines). In this case, it is sufficient to edit the package control information normally and re-upload the package (see the Debian Packaging Manual for details). Carefully examine the installation log sent to you when the package is installed into the archive. If for some reason the old location of the package remains, file a bug against ftp.debian.org asking that the old location be removed. Give details on what you did, since it might be a dinstall bug. ----- Cheers, -- Hertzog Raphaël >> 0C4CABF1 >> http://prope.insa-lyon.fr/~rhertzog/
