Thanks for the tip. Note: this can only be excluded within apt-cross - dpkg-cross doesn't know whether a dependency IS Arch:all because it only deals with the current package, not the dependency of that package, (that's a job for apt and therefore apt-cross). Therefore, each Arch:all dependency of the particular package will need to be specified to dpkg-cross -X, repeating -X as necessary, as well as any other package to exclude. Those command lines could get v.long. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
