How about: $ dpkg -P --force-depends xlibs # dpkg -S etc/X11/xkb/xkbcomp If that's not owned by any package, then either: 1) You have found a bug in dpkg; 2) You created it yourself; 3) Some very badly-behaved script created it. I'm pretty sure I can rule out 3) for the xfree86 packages dating back to the version released in potato or before. There are known problems with dpkg's conffile handling. For example, Scott James Remnant recently fixed one which had been around for a long time indeed: dpkg (1.10.21) unstable; urgency=low * Fix incorrect linked list node removal code that caused every second shared or diverted conffile to be deleted by dpkg. Closes: #10879, #33046, #47267, #90623, #98210, #109691, #146167. Closes: #155456, #204275. In any case, there is no obvious right thing to do if someone has stuck a plain file where a package expects to place a conffile. Just unconditionally deleting it is a good way to get angry bug reports. In situations like this, the user is expected to inspect the situation and make an informed decision. If your /etc/X11/xkb/xkbcomp looks useless to you, delete it and try to install the package again. If there is a bug here, I'm not sure it is one I can fix. You'll need to tell me what you think the package is doing wrong. -- G. Branden Robinson| Why do we have to hide from the Debian GNU/Linux | police, Daddy? [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Because we use vi, son.
