Sorry if this has already been asked many times...
I currently run dpkg 1.2.14. I've read various posts about the new
1.3 version.
Do I need to upgrade (I think yes) to make new packages in 1.3 format
to be included in Debian 1.2 ?
Do I need to change the package debian.* files to the new Debi
I am converting the joe package to the new source format and have run into
a strange problem. The first time I run dpkg-buildpackage the .orig tree
is tarred up ok. The second time I run it, it tries to use the tar.gz file
created in the previous run but fails, giving:

The /usr/lib/perl5/getopts.pl is broken: it won't take more than one option
with an argument. More precisely: for Getopts('abcde:fghij'), only -e will care
about its argument, not -a, -b, -c or -d. The previous version had not this
problem. Here is the old one:

Typing "/leave" without arguments causes a segfault and coredump. (I
have a 475K core file if anyone's interested.) The help information
claims that /leave without arguments should behave identically to
"/leave *", i.e. leave current channel.

No, replaces and conflicts together implies that. RTFM.

May be I misunderstood something, but the problem seems to be that
/etc/dpkg/shlibs.default doesn't contain some important libraries.
In my understanding, the file should contain a list of _all_ *installed*
shared libraries on the system and the packages names and versions that
provided the share
Hi Folks.
I've debianized ImageMagick and uploaded it to master, in section
non-free for now. However I think I could move it to the 'graphics'
section as:
1) The license states it's free (included as attachment)
2) It doesn't include the GIF compression code

the FSSTND does not forbid the use of /usr/share, and th
I thought the "Replaces:" implied the removal of the package before

It should not be possible to reinstall ppp if isp-ppp is installed without
it being automatically removed (as per the "Replaces:" in isp-ppp). This
might be an issue for dpkg.
I wonder why I dont get these bug repo
I have a package called bridge-0.2 that has additional protocol filtering
bridging features that I expect to be included in the 2.1.X kernels and
some tool enhancements. This package requires patching the kernel right
now.
I would like the bridge-0.1 version to be kept in stable debian for the

Is there a shorter way? If I use -static -lsomelib it does not work...
