Yes, I agree. I originally thought that the format of the "status:" messages produced by dpkg specifically allows for multi-line output (by flagging additional lines with a starting space, like in the status file, etc).

(I think it should be "stripped_emsg", not "striped_emsg", no?) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
