Hello,

I'm still a little greenish around the gills with respect to the way
debian does things ...

What am I doing wrong?

first off - don't send to the digest - send to the debian-users list.

Whoops.  Sorry all.

Second - I'm not catching what you are trying to do here - but have
you tried to use the apt tools?
<snip>
$ sudo apt-get install hylafax-client hylafax-server hylafax-doc

I know how to use apt-get.  I was just trying to show the simpler
output of dpkg.

It doesn't matter if I use

sudo apt-get install hylafax-client hylafax-server hylafax-doc

or if I download the .debs and then install with

sudo dpkg -i hylafax-client_4.1.1-3_i386.deb hylafax-server_4.1.1-3_i386.deb

The result is still

~ > ls -l /etc/hylafax/
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1906 Oct 12 1998 dialrules.dpkg-dist -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2455 Oct 12 1998 dialrules.europe.dpkg-dist -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2150 Oct 12 1998 dialrules.sf-ba.dpkg-dist lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 7 16:14 egetty-link -> /sbin/mgetty* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 7 16:14 getty-link -> /sbin/mgetty* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jan 7 16:14 vgetty-link -> /usr/sbin/vgetty*

That bunches of stuff that are in the .deb packages don't get installed.

What is happening to /etc/hylafaxhosts.hfaxd?
Where is /etc/hylafax/hfaxd.conf being installed?
Why is /etc/hylafax/lutRS18.pcf nowhere to be found on the filesystem after the install?

Without those files, hylafax is useless. I _could_ just unpack the .debs and install the files by hand, but that just defeats the point of a package manager (not to mention it might be glossing over something seriously hosed with my
system)
