i know this much and made it work before. however, i have the entire debian tree mirrored and thus need to use apt-ftparchive. but its syntax is overwhelming. given the entire dists/{stable,testing,unstable}/{main,contrib,non-free}/binary-i386 tree for debian and debian-non-US, how do you call apt-ftparchive? the example given in online help: apt-ftparchive packages dists/potato/main/binary-i386/ > \ dists/potato/main/binary-i386/Packages seems to ignore override files, and it doesn't really care about pool/ at all, where all the packages are kept... please help. martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "if I can't dance, i don't want to be part of your revolution." - emma goldman
