Re: debhelper upgrade makes lintian complain?

[calloway@cs.utk.edu]

Can someone please take me off of this list

I have tried many times. All requests
are returned with a message saying it did
not work.

I am possibly here under

	calloway@cs.utk.edu
	jcc@utk.edu
	callowayj@ornl.gov

For the love of God. Someone, please help.
