Has this been triple-checked to do the right thing? I used to have to employ extremely hard measures (aka rm -fr et/ in debian/rules clean) to convince the Cyrus build to not do anything extremely hazardous, such as using pieces of system com-err and pieces of cyrus com-err. I *really* would not trust configure to not do something idiotic without directly checking the object files and poisoning the local copies of com-err to fail any build that touches them, so as to make sure everything is doing what it is supposed to... Otherwise, we should supplement the suggested patch with the destruction of the upstream com-err crap (and anything else we don't ever want in the build anyway while at it) in the clean target. This is _really_ an issue of "much better safe than sorry", as it would bork the error handling paths (argh!). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
