Yes. It is unfortunate that this is necessary, but debian had PCRE building a shared library before this was supported upstream, and when upstream added shared library support I felt that compatibility with existing debian packages was more important than compatibility with other linux distributions so kept the soname I had previously used. Since then there has never been a need for a change to the soname, or I would have taken the opportunity to change it to be the same as upstream. > By applying dh-autoreconf this "fix" is ignored and the resulting binary > packages become broken. Presumably what I need to do is to patch configure.ac instead of configure. The version numbers appear to be conveniently at the top of there, so this should be straightforward. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
