I have not checked any other packages, but I'm guessing that as long as the project used a fairly recent gnulib/libiberty that %n might not be a big issue. -dean takemori -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
