Thanks, I wasn't aware of them, Gentoo Linux doesn't provide them.
But I'm running Debian on a Raspberry Pi and "aptitude search" tells
me that they are available. But which file(s) contain the registry?
Fabrice once told me that the registry is a distributed database.
I deduce from that, that it's not a single file.
