Perhaps that information is missing in the man page. I have looked into this further and you get the same response for native or non-native packages. Defaultless is meant to suppress the copying of default package files which is exactly the result you get with -d. I'll make some adjustments to the man page. - Craig -- Craig Small (@smallsees) http://enc.com.au/ csmall at : enc.com.au Debian GNU/Linux http://www.debian.org/ csmall at : debian.org GPG fingerprint: 5D2F B320 B825 D939 04D2 0519 3938 F96B DF50 FEA5
