This only works if you assume that all versions are ordered in the changelog. It appears to not be the case and the proper interpretation of -v might be "include all entries appearing after the given existing entry". (See #474878 for some discussion around this where dato merges sid changelog entries in his experimental changelog) Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Le best-seller français mis à jour pour Debian Etch : http://www.ouaza.com/livre/admin-debian/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
