Hi and thanks for the report! > /usr/sbin/jabberd: /usr/lib/libidn.so.11: no version information > available (required by /usr/lib/libjabberd.so.2) Is that a fatal error or a warning? If it is a warning, perhaps that is a reasonable price to pay for having an inconsistent system -- I could even see situations where the warning would be useful, to make you upgrade. If the application refuse to work, though, I think the problem is more severe and we should try to find a solution. > For the sake of partial lenny->squeeze upgrades, the dpkg shlibs file > should point to libidn11 (>= 1.15) or whenever the versioned symbols > were introduced. I don't know how to fix that. Anibal, help? /Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
