[H-GEN] TeX and stuff (wrt Debian from TriLinux)

] drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root        12288 May 25 22:23 msdos-i386/text/

Notice how the /text/ series appears in all four subdirectories, but
that the /tex/ series only appears in the one with the msdos style
filenames? The one whose packages are symlinks to the binary-i386
directory?

Also, interesting, is:

] # find -size 0 -exec ls {} \;    # list all zero byte files below ./
] ./binary-all/sound/timidity-patches_0.1-1.deb
] ./binary-all/x11/xbooks_3.2-6.deb
] ./binary-i386/devel/gnat_3.09-1.deb
] ./binary-i386/devel/lesstif-dev_0.76-1.deb
] ./binary-i386/devel/lesstif-dbg_0.76-1.deb
] ./binary-i386/devel/lesstif-bin_0.76-1.deb

(some TRANS.TBL files snipped)

Oh no! /gnat/ won't work! Does this mean I can't run Ada?!?!

Heavens above! Anything but _that_!

Cheers,

I don't speak for anyone save myself. PGP encrypted mail preferred.
