sysvinit package

2000-06-28 Thread Kevin Musick
Marcus, Did you get my message regarding the sysvinit package in your contrib directory. dpkg complains that my version (1.4.3) doesn't support some scripting capability and that I need at least version 1.1.0. Is there a solution to this? Thanks for your help. Kevin Musick [EMAIL PROTECTED]
