This change to --apt output looks reasonable to me. I talked to TheSin in #fink yesterday, who confirmed that old apt would also accept it, so I don't see harm in sending this to master now (rather than later as part of the large apt upgrade work) (would also benefit anyone who's experimenting with new debian tools of any sort). Technical question: Is this really Architecture:all, given that it's generated by a fink that is single-arch? dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
