[EMAIL PROTECTED] scripsit: |You mean if the software fails to install completely, is the preinst |script in /v/l/d/i from the new or old package? Honestly, I don't know |for sure.
Well, what I meant (reading the question it was rather badly put) was: is the file in /v/l/d/i meant to be the new one after the dpkg -i is started or only after the package has successfully installed? As I said I moved the one in there and after doing the dpkg nothing new appeared (as in there was no /v/l/d/i/libc6.preinst) which worries me a little. |You can extract the scripts from the package by using ar. Create a temp |directory, run: | |ar -x libc_2.1.3-4_i386.deb |tar -xvzf control.tar.gz Ah, isn't it nice when someone knows what he's doing :-) Thanks. Will have a look at the script and try and work out what dies. Arrigo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
