What I meant with generic / futuristic was something like a library wrapping "requests for feature" to "packages" and perhaps offering UI to spawn the package manager as well. What you did in #407701 could be /repeated/ for other problems of course. On a related note, your solution does not work for packages hosted in disabled / not listed APT repositories; I think the Ubuntu spec goes further than that and ship the actual mappings to offer access to codecs in non-default repositories (multiverse) and commercial repositories; well, from what I understood of it at least. > Isn't the Ubuntu thing sending the dumps to their own servers, so that > they can be matched to debugging information?

Hmm, I don't think so either; I understood that it's just like sending an attached core dump in your bug report. -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
