[ Cross-posted to devel and dpkg, followups set to dpkg, please obey the reply-to ] Hi,
After working on dpkg last night for the manic hamm beta episode, I noticed there was lots of other stuff that even I could fix; so I have. If no one objects I plan to upload this NMU for slink RSN. Barring disasters from this NMU, premature release of my exam results or any objections, I'll try and do some more NMUs which fix things like the build issues, UTMP warnings, $LANG issues and debian-changelog-mode issues. For now, they're available from either <URL:ftp://debian.nocrew.org/pub/debian-i386/> or ~troup/dpkg/ on master (for those that side of the pond). I've tested it as much as I can, and roped a couple more on IRC into testing it, all without problems. The changes are all minor, so I think it should be safe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dpkg (1.4.0.24) unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload. * dpkg/main.c: Turn --force-overwrite off as default. * dpkg/main.c: don't list --force-overwrite as default in --force-help, noticed by Peter Weiss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others.

[#22106] * scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: fix typo s/source version/source maintainer/, noticed by Joey Hess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Adam P. Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others. [#10175, #15559] * scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl: applied patch from Roman Hodek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> which solves problems with architecture specific packages in mostly architecture independent multi-binary source packages. [#14341, #20192]. * doc/Makefile.am: remove any reference to the packaging manual, as it is now provided by the separate "packaging-manual" package. * doc/packaging.sgml: removed. * doc/developer-keys.pgp: updated to the current debian keyring. * aclocal.m4: applied patch from Joel Klecker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to handle egcs' --print-libgcc-file-name output. [#20353] * debian/copyright: correct FSF address. * debian/rules: add code from lesstif's debian/rules to make libtool less of a fool (i.e. not use -rpath and to link shared libraries against libraries it depends on). Code by Richard Braakman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. * debian/rules: remove all reference to the packaging manual as it is now provided by the seperate "packaging-manual" package. [#21581, #21186, #22698, #23342] * debian/rules: link dpkg-divert.1.gz to undocumented.7.gz as the lack of a real manpage has been reported in #11093. * debian/README.compile: removed gawk and bogus comment about gettext being in experimental, as reported by Santiago Vila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [#23344]. Added libpaperg (debiandoc2ps needs paperconf). * debian/shlibs.default.i386: updated for glibc, reported by Herbert Xu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. [#13140] * debian/control (dpkg-dev): depend on perl as POSIX (not a part of perl-base) is needed by most of the perl dpkg-* scripts, noticed by Joel Klecker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
