And typo "Reco>mends:". Where should those get reported? reportbug procps Same process. Most of the time Debian bugs should be filed using the reportbug binary from the reportbug package. Stuff like this really should have been caught by the DD by using lintian and piuparts before upload. Make sure they haven't already been fixed by doing an update/upgrade "dance". reportbug will also try and find other bugs related to the package; don't file a new bug if one already exists. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
