No, not the adult diapers. What I would like to do is control the behaviour of dpkg-shlibdeps wrt one library. In particular, I would like it to use lapack instead of atlas2 because there is about a 5 Mb difference between the two packages and I only need liblapack. Unfortunately, the man page doesn't really make it clear how to do this. I tried making a debian/shlibs.local file, but that didn't seem to make much difference. Any help will be appreciated. -- Chris
