But the packager as shown with rpm -qi is not necessarily the maintainer with Mandrake. You might even want to CC both. You can get the maintainer with gc's rpmmon utility. http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/html/rpmmon-tut.html -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy? - Ghandi

Best thing to do is CC the maintainer when you first send the email. You can find it with rpm -qi $PACKAGE ... but there's an easier way to do it, I just forget. Someone told me to look in kdmrc, but I wasn't sure what to look for ;). I don't get it though, how do these guys build packages and never run across a bug like this? I had also suggested something like 'rpmverify' on every RPM before it gets mailed out. This would help a great deal as well. -- Sincerely, David Walluck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

It's written wrong in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. I've reported this a few times already... I'm wondering why it's still broken.

[Cooker] /usr/X11R6/bin not in PATH
Something (possibly msec), had removed /usr/X11R6/bin from the path, so that KDE would fail to start, and others would have various problems. I added: PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin export PATH to /etc/X11/XSession but I'm not sure of the right fix. -- Sincerely, David Walluck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
