Hi! I recently packaged up some source code of mine, resulting in a source package that creates several .debs for the sections 'libs' and 'devel'. When I installed those .debs, I found them in another section than specified in the .deb...
Anybody know the reason for this? Here is an example: ~$ dpkg --info ~/debian/packages/libucxx0_0.1.0-1_i386.deb new debian package, version 2.0. size 71830 bytes: control archive= 1014 bytes. 432 bytes, 12 lines control 544 bytes, 8 lines md5sums 306 bytes, 14 lines * postinst #!/bin/sh 194 bytes, 6 lines * prerm #!/bin/sh 39 bytes, 2 lines shlibs Package: libucxx0 Version: 0.1.0-1 Section: libs <== Here: LIBS Priority: optional Architecture: i386 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.3-7), libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libsigc++0 Installed-Size: 292 Maintainer: Andreas Rottmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Source: ucxx Description: uC++ - A C++ plugin and extension language framework uC++ aim is to provide a convenient way to incorporate both native (compiled) and scripting plugins into C++ programs. ~$ dpkg -s libucxx0 Package: libucxx0 Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: devel <== Here: devel Installed-Size: 292 Maintainer: Andreas Rottmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Source: ucxx Version: 0.1.0-1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.3-7), libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libsigc++0 Description: uC++ - A C++ plugin and extension language framework uC++ aim is to provide a convenient way to incorporate both native (compiled) and scripting plugins into C++ programs.
