ARGH! As it turns out, this was never fixed in stable, only in unstable! A very evil slip, grmbl. I have updated stable now, and will put the new passwd into the bindist. This is a very bad thing to have happend; I fear I might have to release a 0.4.0a only due to this :-( Max -- ----------------------------------------------- Max Horn Software Developer email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> phone: (+49) 6151-494890 _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
