To find this out, I went to the Debian Packages page at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages I went down to the bottom, where there's a form you can use to search the contents of packages, and to list the contents of a specific package. I used it to get a list of files in the stable version of libtime-hires-perl. There were a bunch of /usr/share/doc files, a man page, and then the files Time/HiRes.pm, auto/Time/HiRes/HiRes.bs, and auto/Time/HiRes/HiRes.so. I then used the same form, with different button settings, to find out whether any package in testing contains those three files. Looks like they've all been incorporated into the "perl" package. I confirmed this by going into aptitude, looking under upgradeable packages, going to "perl", and hitting enter to get detail on it. Listed under packages it replaces is "libtime-hires-perl". -c -- Chris Metzler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
