Huh? Goto, please think about bugs before flaming them. Let's look at the description of libc6-prof: Description: GNU C Library: Profiling Libraries Static libraries compiled with profiling info (-pg) suitable for use with gprof. libc6-prof exists to hold the _p libraries, because they are very large and almost no one wants them. sprof is not a static library suitable for use with gprof. In fact, it's only usable on shared libraries, so forcing people to install the profiling libraries to get it doesn't make much sense! I think this would be a great change to make. -- Daniel Jacobowitz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
