That is possible (xcompat is an a.out library.) I haven't heard direct reports of such (and xcompat is still dead -- there were never "real" sources for the package, it was cobbled together by hand, so would take some work to reconstruct...) Nonetheless, nothing within debian cares about the use of those virtual package names. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
