I'm not sure if I want to be replying to this thread, but I might have a thing or two to say about this subject. As the original author of pkg_version (the Perl one), I wish I had never added the -c option. Of the users I have talked to who used this option, the majority used it wrongly (as a package updating script). In hindsight, this was basically a foot-shooting device. :-( If anyone had asked me about this before jumping all over eik@, I would have recommended that we lose the option as a service to our users.=20 Sorry, but that's the way I feel. In any case, thanks to eik@ for doing the work, and thanks to everyone else who believed they were doing The Right Thing (TM).
