That will not work. The build procedure, (the part comming from upstream), has been changed to use the new name. I do not care to figure out which references to the script are in the build procedure and which need to exist at runtime. There may be some references to the script that are used by both. The rename really needs to happen before build or installation. Is there an dh override that is commonly used to hook in before the build procedure runs? -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117
