I made these lines in the above noted script: sub execute { my(@cmd) = @_; if($dry_run) { print join(" ", @cmd) . "\n"; } else { if(system(@cmd) != 0) { die "emacs-$action: " . join(" ", @cmd) . " failed"; } } } ...look like this: sub execute { my(@cmd) = @_; } I'm not sure what I removed, but removing it caused things to move forward apace, and I apparently then succeeded in removing the emacs20 deb package. -- Bob Bernstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> at Esmond, R.I., USA << End forwarded message -- Bob Bernstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> at Esmond, R.I., USA
