I didn't mean to imply otherwise. In this scenario, the maintainer scripts would modify the ".createdfiles" file through packaging system tools. Come to think of it, the ".createdfiles" file could even be a static part of the package. If it contains a list of all files the maintainer scripts /potentially/ create, it wouldn't need to be modified at all. Even if /var/lib/dpkg/info is not the right place, my point still stands that it would technically feasible to maintain such a list of created files for each package. :) Martin -- ,--. ,= ,-_-. =. / ,- ) Martin Dickopp, Dresden, Germany ((_/)o o(\_)) \ `-' http://www.zero-based.org/ `-'(. .)`-' `-. \_/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
