I've put sparc dpkg on ftp1.us.debian.org but haven't uploaded it because, on my system, dselect doesn't seem to work properly. Like some other ncurses3.4 stuff I've tried, it seems you sometimes have to hit enter twice to get the keyboard input to the program. The program then receives two enters, which is often not what you wanted.
BTW, if you're interested in building it, merely stealing HTML files from a existing binary package doesn't work. You need to actually build the doc dir on a system which has nsgmls, sgmlsasp, dvips, debiandoc2html, and debiandoc2ps, and copy over a ton of intermediate files which aren't in the final package. That, or edit the dpkg Makefile system, which is an unholy combination of automake, autoconf, gettext, and libtool. And dpkg comes maintainer-clean, too, not merely clean. Have fun. ;-) --------------------- PGP E4 70 6E 59 80 6A F5 78 63 32 BC FB 7A 08 53 4C __ _ Debian GNU Johnie Ingram <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mm mm / /(_)_ __ _ ___ __ "netgod" irc.debian.org mm mm / / | | '_ \| | | \ \/ / m m m / /__| | | | | |_| |> < Those who do not understand UNIX mm mm \____/_|_| |_|\__,_/_/\_\ are doomed to repeat it, poorly.
