RE: [Ltib] freescale ltib config problem

[Yin Olivia-R63875]

Hi Ed,

I agree with you.
But this patch is not necessary for all of the Debian or Ubuntu
distributions.

For example, it is fine to install LTIB on Ubuntu 9.04 with
rpm-4.4.2.3-2.
And the old version of rpm doesn't support --force-debian option.

I'm not sure how to create a patch to judge which version of rpm or
which distribution need --force-debian option.


Best Regards,
Olivia
