In a .dsc, there is a 'Source:' entry (only if source pkg != bin pkg, and/or source versionnr != bin versionnr), which points to the source. So no need to fiddle with the version number, which would be really tricky. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl
