Hello, thanks very much for your report. I agree with you it's unclear. I always thought it was case-sensitive. The patch is old and doesn't apply well. I've updated it and added this phrase too "So in the previous example you could use dpkg::pre-install-pkgs". -- http://syx.googlecode.com - Smalltalk YX http://lethalman.blogspot.com - Thoughts about computer technologies http://www.debian.org - The Universal Operating System
