Hi dpkg maintainers, developers,
(Please follow up only to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
I've just noticed that packages I've built recently have had the list of
Depends reorganized into ASCIIbetical order in the generated binary
.debs. I guess this was the next logical step after having dpkg-dev
re-order
I have a package that I made which does a dpkg-divert in the
'preinst' on a couple of config files and then installs replacements
from them. However, even though the dpkg-divert has run (and I've
verified it does move it to the name I specify), I still get a message
that looks like this:

I've neglected libjsw for far too long; I just don't have any real interest
in maintaining it these days (and anyway it's ages since I last used a

I disargree with you on this point. If the user doesn't know what RDF is they
