Re: What's Debian's /usr/src policy.

1997-12-28 Thread Karl M. Hegbloom
Along with this, in the similar thread, I think we should set aside a place in our /usr/src/ for the building of Debian packages, using `cvs-buildpackage'. (which I promise to _try_ and grok this week.) How about... /usr/src/debian/{build,work}? It would be good to put into policy a naming

ldconfig, dangling symlinks - solution

1997-12-25 Thread Karl M. Hegbloom
The reason that ldconfig is reporting `file not present' is that a package has installed shared objects without also installing the symlinks. `ldconfig' makes the symlink when it's run, and when the package is uninstalled, it removes the file pointed to, but not the symlink. -- TO
