I recently ran into this problem trying to set up an Amanda server on a machine running Ubuntu Precise... and when I investigated I discovered that quite a number of Linux distributions have moved up to glib >= 2.32, and several have come up with their own separate patches to get their Amanda package functioning again. This seems like a messy situation, but I'm guessing the distributions won't want to package a nightly tarball release. So I'm wondering how close you are to releasing 3.3.2 -- or (if that's still a ways off) if it would make any sense to release some sort of 3.3.1.1 with just the three glib fixes, or something like that.... Here are a few examples of what I mean: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/amanda/precise/revision/24 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=665675 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=667836 http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=amanda.git;a=commitdiff;h=257a3a8fe https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415587 I suppose the good news is that Fedora and Gentoo's patches both do seem to be based on your upstream commits (thanks at least in part to Dustin's involvement with the Gentoo bug), rather than implemented from scratch (and the Debian and Ubuntu patches were). But given that the inevitable glib library updates force each distribution to deal with these issues one way or another, it seems like it might be worth Amanda's pushing the fixes to an official release fairly quickly at this point.... Thanks.
