Policy only allows these wildcards for the build-time fields. In libgnomevfs2-dev (subject of bug 587877), it is a regular Depends:, and your wildcard solution will not work. Unless, that is, dpkg-gencontrol expands the wildcard appropriately at build time - but I don't think it does. -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
