Hi!
What's the exact purpose of the .tar.gz source packages and the diff? I'm
asking because I want to create a package for the metapost system, that's
like metafont but produces postscript output. The currently available
distribution is a patch against the latest webc, 6.3 I think,

Package: dpkg, dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.0
The control of dpkg-dev contains a Conflicts replaces on dpkg-name but
the dpkg-name util is provided by the dpkg package. I think that the
dpkg package should hold these conflicts and replaces fields.

I am converting the joe package to the new source format and have run into
a strange problem. The first time I run dpkg-buildpackage the .orig tree
is tarred up ok. The second time I run it, it tries to use the tar.gz file
created in the previous run but fails, giving:
Package: xbase
Version: 3.1.2-9
This is a minor problem. If one sets the variable HOME
to a directory where one does not have the write permission,
xauth list apparently enters an infinite loop. If it is then
interrupted with Ctrl-C, a coredump is generated.

H. Sounds like an entry in the FAQ is in order.
And something in the dpkg policy manual as well?

I'm looking for some kind of rescue boot disks for Debian. Actually I

It seems I will be talking at the EurOpen.SE meeting/conference
on October 24 and 25. I haven't made an outline yet, but I will
talk both about Linux in general, and about Debian in particular.
I will have about two hours.
Any suggestions of what I should talk about will be greatly
appreciated.

Help files for zsh functions are not installed by the package, which
makes things like 'run-help compctl' unusable.
Would it be possible to install these help files under /usr/lib/zsh/help,
so that one can also have /usr/lib/zsh/functions for his site-wide zsh
That would be great!

Is there a problem with the package or is there a critter in dpkg-source?

Seems that there is something wrong with dpkg-source. Why would it require
a - instead of a _ for the orig.tar.gz when all the other files for the
