Re: using dselect with hamm/non-free, hamm/contrib
Hi,
I got it by applying this patch posted a couple of weeks ago
by Tomislav Vujec [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Tomislav If you're using dselest's ftp method (dpkg-ftp), you'll need
Tomislav this small patch, which I included in bug report 8762 for
Tomislav dpkg-ftp:
--- /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/install.orig Thu Dec 5 07:37:13 1996
+++ /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/install Wed Apr 16 01:47:34 1997
@@ -139,6 +139,7 @@
print \nProcessing Package files...\n;
my $dist;
foreach $dist (@dists) {
+$dist =~ tr/\//_/;
my $fn = Packages.$dist;
if (-f $fn) {
print $dist...\n;
Tomislav It fixes small, but nasty bug in install script which doesn't convert
Tomislav slashes to underscores in packages file names. Now you can enter:
Tomislav unstable hamm/non-free hamm/contrib
Tomislav for distribution list.
It works like a charm.

innovation as a democratic process. You almost get it as an
anti-democratic process. Certainly you get it as an anthitetical
process, so you have to have an environment where the body of people
are really amenable to change and can deal with the conflicts that
arise out of change an innovation. Max DePree, chairman and CEO of
