I wasn't aware of that problem, amazing it has lasted so long without being fixed upstream. Just wondering, have you tried to convince Kurt to apply your changes on Debian's libtool. I mean, if there is no regression in Debian I don't see "real" reasons (but sure there are some, like people developing 'upstream' software in Debian with Debian's libtool also targeted to other distros) not to do so. Anyway, just reconsidering what I just said seems like there's no much way around it unless it is fixed by upstream, or a 'libtool-deb' package with that patch is shipped. > > Cheers, > -- > .''`. > : :' : We are debian.org.
