So, at least there should be a comment about list separator and quoting requirement in pbuilderrc. Better solution is to allow any format. Should it suffice to document that pbuilderrc is a shell script that is sourced from shell ? Not for everybody. Besides that, I just skip to the option of interest rather than reading the whole man page from the top to the bottom until something goes wrong ;) So, this is a question of usability. I'm fine with current changes (0.147) to the man page, but IMHO putting the example EXTRAPACKAGES with 3 items (and probably the note about shell script) not just to the man page but also to the installed pbuilderrc would be the right thing to do. -- ...Bye..Dmitry. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, Comma-separated list of EXTRAPACKAGES does not work due to apt is unable to find pkg1,pkg2,pkg3 package. Space-separated list of EXTRAPACKAGES works only if it is enclosed with quotes, i.e. pkg1 pkg2 pkg3. Otherwise (without quotes), pkg2 command gets executed with pkg3 argument somewhere at the beginning.
