Virtual packages are generated by VirtPackages. Dpkg knows about virtuals by reading system(fink-virtual-pkgs) every time dpkg runs--it doesn't actually store them in its status database file. Fink's Status actually reads dpkg's status db directly rather than using dpkg itself. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
