The next version of repair, which isn't quite ready yet, calls dpkg to find information about the package rather than make assumptions about the format of internal databases; I'll check that it looks for the right field name tonight. There are one or two other things that need to be resolved before I upload it. Thanks for taking the time to have a look at it! -- Richard Kettlewell richard@uk.geeks.org http://www.elmail.co.uk/staff/richard/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Richard Kettlewell : Extra info received and forwarded.

It however never seems to find the debian revision number. I took a quick look in the script and it seems to search for a sequence "package_revision". In the /var/lib/dpkg/available the keyword "revision" is used. In the control file of a package the keyword "package_revision" (case insensitive) should be used. Some inconsequence is spotted here. Perhaps this is a bug? in dpkg.
