Thanks, but I knew that. I should have specified the context: What I really meant was that during building of packages foo and bar, tetex-bin was installed as a build-dep, and failed to configure. The postinst leaves a temporary file in /tmp if it fails, and this is the file I wanted. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
