I have about no clue what you're talking about. If you believe that dpkg-scanpackages from dpkg-multicd is broken, please try out http://people.debian.org/~joey/NMU/dpkg-multicd_0.17.1_all.deb which is synced against dpkg-scanpackages from dpkg-dev 1.9.17. I haven't noticed any change that would affect ``Task:'' headers, but... If you still think there is a problem, please provide *INFORMATION* about the problem so one can actually fix it. At the moment I don't know what you want. Regards, Joey -- Unix is user friendly ... It's just picky about its friends. Please always Cc to me when replying to me on the lists.
