I just tried again with a freshly updated pbuilder (unstable) i386 chroot and got the same error again. The version of g++-4.0 there is 4.0.2-9, and the version of libmhash-dev is 0.9.4a-1. It looks like it's complaining about assigning the result of mhash_get_hash_name, which is of type mutils_word8*, to a char* variable, which would involve an implicit conversion. So it's validly complaining about invalid C++ code. Of course, if mhash_get_hash_name is actually supposed to return a user-readable string, it's probably a bug in mhash to return the result as a uint8_t* instead of a char*. -- Daniel Schepler
