xapt is in the NEW queue, aimed at experimental, but a lot of changes needed to be made to the version that is currently part of pdebuild-cross. Therefore, I do not think it suitable to push xapt as a replacement for apt-cross as a fix for this particular bug. The two programs are trying to do a similar task but are not equivalent. xapt is a new codebase, it is a different approach.
To make things a little easier for users of apt-cross, xapt has been uploaded to the Emdebian toolchain repository: http://www.emdebian.org/toolchains/search.php?arch=i386&distro=sid&package=xapt apt-cross was only ever useful when allied to a cross-building toolchain on a Debian system, so this means that users of such toolchains can now get xapt directly. This should minimise the problems of removing apt-cross from Squeeze without having a direct replacement in Debian itself. I'll be seeking the removal of apt-cross from Squeeze this weekend. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
