I think the problem is that free MP3 encoders are illegal in large areas of

Does anyone else find it ironic that licq-plugin-gtk+ was finally installed

This is something I've been curious about since noticing that Lame supports
Vorbis: why would you use Lame to encode a Vorbis file when Vorbis comes with
its own encoder? Am I missing something?

It seems to me that a better way to do this (in the abstract case :) ) would
be to librarify dpkg -- that is, to make a libdpkg which approximately parallels
libapt. This would also have the effect of solving some annoying quirks in the
apt/dpkg interaction which are caused (if I remember correc

Hello,
I was just poking around on my system and found a script I wrote back when
kernel 2.2 was released. It was an experiment to see if I could easily handle
registration and deregistration of binary formats (with binfmt_misc) -- it
just occured to me that Debian might be interested in it,
