Which fiasco do you refer to? Did people forget to add a Depends? I doubt that this was the main deficiency of the bad old mozilla package ... >From what I know the problem was rather the need to specify LD_LIBRARY_PATH and link with rpath, which you mastered by shipping the libs in /usr/lib/ ... which, btw, was a great thing to do for 1.8. However since people now need to use the glue anyway maintaining this isn't needed anymore and we should try to get back to upstream layout (which is what this bug is all about). So what are your plans? Maintain the lib split and fork away or going the "shared glue (if possible) way" + upstream directory layout? - Alexander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
