When building toshutils, which I am in the process of adopting, on Anibal's pbuilder, I get the above linda warnings. I asked him and he suggested that I re-ask these questions on debian-devel. I am wondering poeple think of the following: 1) The menu warnings. The list of files in /usr/bin shows that dispswitch, tuxtime-conf, and wmtuxtime are in fact in the package. As far as xmessage, that is in the xbase-clients package, an indirect dependency. Lintian also gave the same warning, but I setup an override to suppress the warning. Is this OK? What about the other files that it says are not there? 2) Should I do anything about the timestamp warnings on config.guess and config.sub? 3) I already discussed the warning about depending on automake and autoconf with Anibal and he seems to think it is justified. Are there any disagreements? -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~sanchezr
