Ack, and my bad -- I should have checked. The packaging is much smarter than I gave it credit for and _does_ of course include a call to ldconfig in its postinst. So maybe next time you want to try 'apt-get source -b jags' (after adding a deb-src entry that points to unstable to your /etc/apt/sources.list) ? -- Regards, Dirk _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Debian mailing list R-SIG-Debian@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian
