I don't think so. The bug occurred when people were trying to reduce the UTF8 libnewt when they also had plain libnewt-pic installed. Because libnewt0 and libnewt-utf8-0 shared a soname, mklibs.sh was making the reduced library from the objects in /usr/lib/libnewt_pic.a, which was causing flashing screens. I think you mentioned that libnewt and libnewt-utf8 still have the same soname, so the potential for the bug is still there. Whether the packaging will still let you install the right combination of libnewt, libnewt-dev and libnewt-pic packages to make it actually happen, I'm not so sure. As far as I know there is nothing actually i386 specific about this, either. It can happen on all architectures just as easily. Perhaps that bit of the check should be removed. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
