If your package is the same version number as the official one, but are different (I guess different MD5 sums and/or size is how apt checks it), then apt will try to reinstall. Add an entry to the debian/changelog. For example, if the current release is 4.5-2 (just pulling a random number out of the air), then add an entry calling it 4.5-2.1 or something like that. - -- Hubert Chan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.geocities.com/hubertchan/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/651854DF71FDA37F Fingerprint: 6CC5 822D 2E55 494C 81DD 6F2C 6518 54DF 71FD A37F Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
