Thanks William, and Christian too. I'll change the epoch to a 1. I always thought that on Debian the epoch 2 took priority over 1, but perhaps I'm wrong on that. As for the change logs, I stripped out everything because of some earlier build/parse errors, and I just failed to restore the full contents. Thank you again, - -Jim P. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEPxwe8uYBnqxkbORSJxVetMRaJwUFAlu/7awACgkQJxVetMRa JwVeAxAApLaTB5amjGgb5lNhRlDSp1cBj1gSt9FsBoNcnhMDa1bkIKIRPqcurcwV WgESP3RTEmgnluFFbwJQP2m5DCEKn7PBPdXPiWdrkQXoXMjPT/0OzdvHwT0npsXz 0o4tStsxsRAua9Isv76cmFqBy0GCrtQBwLa/I0G2irylgOzV3TezMzhoqEpkFm4s YhnS88I0vidd2tYCS3ThXgnLIHdrrxfrpVv0MW0JLp8YalAegNLPBGH31PRXxbfF VcNTQH2N0adobcUud144rnhDz4y4hgqWbEoDGDRDVC5Aaq0BknH2POvDUAC59BMR 3wec0ebyTlZqkjO+YIMlXo6qYMh8ow1KZGuc5/53/KSTPX8RUCGvzs49+OC2e+us a1C6msp8uvJpNX6t5wjzjtGbS5YPiRilT0cYnjdDtuno5dCIEDJfZ3Whgg0sGz99 ztxD70gXPXhpT2NDVT3AIdQRSDttlxml1sthCwc9LE6I8USbMhGK7y5PW/lN0fzj sWbqUzfmmbGcjTCV7yOMG90uHF5Hrd/lk3Nu2VV3c+rp53tU/zvYVAUf0bMT2hn6 kMIdxXS+KNX/h6rho8IvIremqtunl+x03ED74la7ECu1/dssfkbbvWZ34I7f9Oyx 9Ycnjojrr3IlblxsYRtEXtmI9ZKkJk15cPG5KeHszYgqnrsQz4w= =ID2c -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users Post to : launchpad-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
