Please not. There are several packages in Debian that come in different flavors (GCC, Python, Emacs), and if an old flavor is removed the bugs need to be examined and reassigned to a newer flavor if necessary, rather than being closed automatically. The same reasoning applies whenever a library changes its soname. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
