At the time, it was source-titled 'libc12' as well. I concur, however, with the thought of renaming the source to netbsd-libc, and the package as it stands (that is, the one in the Debian-BSD archive, and which will be uploaded to the main archive once netbsd-* arch sections exist) is now source-named netbsd-libc. -- *************************************************************************** Joel Baker System Administrator - lightbearer.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://users.lightbearer.com/lucifer/
