Looks like 'critical' is the wrong severity... those CVS-files do not break berlin. I wondered wether having /usr/include/CVS was a policy violation and asked a befriended debian maintainer. He said that this issue is not only a policy violation but a critical bug. That's the only reason why I set it to critical... as I wrote in my original post, I have very little experience with all those debian internals. So it would be great if I didn't end up packaging omniorb... but I will do it as I need those debs. I'll propably need a while to catch up with all the debian manuals out there. -- Gruss, Tobias PS: To which severity should I set it if it's not critical? Messing up /usr/include is more then a 'normal' bug IMHO, even if it does not break other applications.. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tobias Hunger The box said: 'Windows 95 or better' tobias@berlin-consortium.org So I installed Linux. -------------------------------------------------------------------
