Bug filed : #599686 grip-config has also been reintroduced, albeit smoothed out and without any of the gcc-*-base stuff or dependency mangling that was used in Lenny. It is Priority: required, it contains the grip-tasks.desc file and it contains /usr/share/info/dir - not nice but useful until the real bug is fixed. > 4.
