well, to say it is "in no way automatically installed" seems directly contradictory to my experiences... i first noticed this issue while upgrading a pbuilder/cowbuilder environment, initially installed sometime in the last 6-9 months, and upgraded daily since then, nothing was ever installed manually, and it had devscripts installed. in several other similarly maintained pbuilder environments devscripts was installed as well. it appears fresh pbuilder installs don't install devscripts, having just finished one. so that issue is moot, and people who have old pbuilder environments just need to re-install cleanly or reconfigure them or whatever suits their fancy. live well, vagrant -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
