There aren't any. This great new feature (no sarcasm -- I *do* think it's useful) is documented in occasional referals to an e-mail by Guy back in January. If you look in the -devel archives around 24-June-1999 for a thread titled "Automatically closing bugs", one or two of the messages have a few examples that should be enough to get you going (although I don't think that was the original topic of the thread). Why it is apparently impossible to put that information in a 20 line document and then include a link to that document from the "Developer's Corner", or include that document in the dpkg-dev package, or any number of other possible distribution mechanisms that don't involve trying random subject searches of the maillist archives (which are useless because the [censored] links *never* work, no matter how [censored] old they are, so you have to then go browse the [censored] subject indices anyway), is beyond me. Yes, I know people are busy. But all the effort spend modifying dinstall is wasted if people can't figure out how to use it. Steve
