(?About which there was a note somewhere else in this thread that there is a conflict between xz-utils and lzma-utils... That's basically because the former supersede the latter.) The name confusion between xz-utils and xzip can be avoided if you search for the package in a package manager which shows package categories (archivers vs. games). -- Stefan Richter -=====-==-=- --=- -==== http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
