Re: make-kpkg
Whether it had been asked before or not, I also had the
same problem as you and wanted to know more about this.
psupdate will update the file, but according to the man
pages it updates /etc/psdatabase, not /boot/psdatabase.
And I'm still not clear on just WHAT it is even used for.
Anyone else know?
