Then I can do any sort of fixups (e.g. remove lines for > packages that pkg_chk thinks are missing) and do something like I didn't do anything like this yet in my current changes, because it is a more complicated patch: it would change the interface between pkg_chk and pkg_rr. Currently pkg_rr reads text output from pkg_chk. If pkg_chk sets the flags, then pkg_rr just invokes pkg_chk, ignoring output, but then has to check for the mismatch=YES flags. It would probably also require a new flag for pkg_chk. For now I wanted to stay away from this, but if this is considered the way to go, I can do it. -Olaf. -- Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- rhialto at falu dot nl ___ Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on \X/ no account be allowed to do the job. --Douglas Adams, "THGTTG"
