Is there anything prohibiting an "update-package.list" command? Would updating /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list files without touching the appropriate Installed-Size: field be OK? Is there any way to get a handle on how much more CPU time and HDD space would be used if all packages updated their meta-info at install time? - Bruce -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
