Same error's in the postinst, which is where I hit it. (on -2, BTW) -2 is where the emacsen-common dependancy was added, but -1 is where the error appeared. Adding the dependancy was to fix this problem... Depending on how -3 fixes the problem, the new package's script may or may not be more successful than the old package's. -- =========================================================== Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 4th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
