I don't use debian and never use ubuntu on servers, only LTS versions on desktops, I know that 99.9% of ubuntu packages are packaged by the same debian maintainer, again, that's an OS specific issue, its not Mon's nor Jim's or anyones here job to chase people like that up. If you assume responsibility for a package, the buck stops with you, (and this applies to RedHat and all others as well), which is why I prefer Slackware on servers and remove many ubuntu installed software and use the source. Sysadmins need to realise there is such a thing called source code, and use it rather than blaming some package maintainer who as you point out can look after a dozen or more packages, and is supposed to have a real life as well, but maybe its time they delegated out to other volunteers. -- Kind Regards, SSA Noel Butler L.C.P No. 251002 ________________________________________________________________________ This Email, including any attachments, may contain legally privileged information, therefore remains confidential and subject to copyright protected under international law.
