This is a mistake in the book that I overlooked. It was actually brought to my attention, however, I misunderstood the conversation thinking it was to do with splitting the utils packages. The util-macros package is looked for by everything, but does not cause a build error (or any negative side affect beyond a warning message and the README being excluded from the build tree). Fortunately, I do already have it covered (inadvertently) in one of my local copies with the split of macros and makedepend, but I haven't committed just yet. Hopefully tonight. If not, I can jump in and at least fix the misplaced dependency. Thanks for the report. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
