Thanks for the tip. FWIW though, you have to explicitly specify a version that actually exists in the changelog or you get a .changes file that lists ALL the changelog entries (and closes all bugs ever listed). It's probably a bug in dpkg-dev that it behaves this way, given what the manpage says. Cameron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
