Once etch is released, I'll revert the changes done in pciutils 1:3.0.0-4 to how it was in the previous version. There are two reasons for that. 1. lspci prefers pci.ids.gz (lspci tries to open it first). 2. The Debian Installer also prefers pci.ids.gz because of its size. ls -l /usr/share/misc/pci.ids* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 298093 2008-05-14 01:05 /usr/share/misc/pci.ids -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 90355 2008-04-26 01:05 /usr/share/misc/pci.ids.old.gz It's a 70% size reduction. >Cheers, >Julien
