Well, the obvious way to go about that is to rename the current slang1-utf8-dev to slang1-dev so that package builds start using it by default. I'm not sure if there are any other libraries like newt that would need to make a coordinated switch. I've copied this to the slang maintainer, to see what his thoughts are on the matter. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
