Debian stable : ~$ dpkg -l *arj* Souhait=inconnU/Installé/suppRimé/Purgé/H=à garder | État=Non/Installé/fichier-Config/dépaqUeté/échec-conFig/H=semi-installé |/ Err?=(aucune)/H=à garder/besoin Réinstallation/X=les deux (État,Err: majuscule=mauvais) ||/ Nom Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii unarj 2.43-3 arj unarchive utility Debian unstable : ~$ dpkg -l *arj* Souhait=inconnU/Installé/suppRimé/Purgé/H=à garder | État=Non/Installé/fichier-Config/dépaqUeté/échec-conFig/H=semi-installé |/ Err?=(aucune)/H=à garder/besoin Réinstallation/X=les deux (État,Err: majuscule=mauvais) ||/ Nom Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii arj 3.10.21-1 archiver for .arj files ii unarj 3.10.21-1 transitional dummy package There was a time when arj archiver was not available under Debian, for licensing/distribution problems, and only unarj package was available. As you can see, stable has only unarj 2.43 in non-free section : http://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/unarj Now, they have both arj and unarj 3.10.21, unarj being transitional for people to upgrade smoothly to old unarj 2 only package to full-featured arj 3 package when moving to upper distro. So expect unarj to disappear soon or later and have one arj package (probably when sarge will be flaged as stable). By the way, unarj depends on arj, arj package allows dearchiving (see man page) exactly as unarj does and they share the same source as you noticed. -- http://www.netexit.com/~sid/ PGP KeyID: 157E98EE FingerPrint: FA62226DA9E72FA8AECAA240008B480E157E98EE >> Hi!
