I have a had a look at both configure.ac and src/Makefile.am but am unsure where the instructions to put these header files into /usr/share are.

I am having lunch today with a friend that is extremely experienced in C++. He's having a look at the source code at the moment.

Let's see if he can point me in the right direction.

Kind regards,

Jorge

Yes. You should only have one libfoo-dev package installed.

Homework: Try removing one or both of these lines and try to build the
package.

If Conflicts or Provides section is not present, package creation aborts and handy hook shell drop-in script kicks in.
Very nice.

Fine this was what i meant in the now deleted because redundant
paragraphs of my previous mail.

Problem sorted.
Only using gmail address now.

I have closed the previous ITP.
I guess only things left doing are:

Generate a new ITP;
Add bug number to the relevant files;
Commit everything to git;
Confirm that the package installs correctly.

Rergards,

Jorge
