That is absolutely not true. auto-pgp would have to go in *non-us/main* due to its dependency on a package from non-us. Not contrib. non-us/main is part of Debian. auto-pgp was put in contrib due it's dependency on "gpg | pgp". Nowhere in policy is it stated that packages that depend on packages from non-us/main can not be part of Debian. Therefore, if we follow this precident, then the printool package that is the subject of this thread must also go in contrib. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
