Yes. Once it is in the archive, we'll change libc to depend on it. > * Is there going to need to be transition code in libc's postinst > similar to that for libdb.so.3? I suspect not, but want to check. No. The reason for that is a little more complex. A lot of core things depended on libdb.so.3, so it had to always be available (perl was linked against it for one). -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
