This is a feature (AKA Not A Bug™) in fink HEAD. It declares docfiles with spaces in their names illegal (without informing anyone, though.) Apparently this is the price to pay for allowing directories in the DocFiles field. I wonder if perl doesn't have the possibility to split a line at "true" spaces that are neither escaped not between quotes, like any shell is able to do. This would allow better parsing of the DocFiles field and would re-allow spaces in file names. If you use realeased fink, the corresponding line reads /usr/bin/install -c -p -m 644 GPL\ License.rtf README COPYING /sw/src/fink.build/root-contacts-1.1-1/sw/share/doc/contacts/ and it works correctly. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
