No problem, it has already been broken since 8 days or more, that was too much, and Noel is busy right now. > > seti-applet > > Touch� here. :))) > > I cannot yet upload these packages to unstable, > > Do you mean libgtop or the applets? I cannot upload libgtop2 in the current state, more explanation below, so it makes no sense in uploading the applets. I will upload hardware-monitor once libgtop2 is ready to enter unstable, but would prefer if the respective maintainers of the other applets would do such for the other applets. > > since their build system is broken (they use the installed libraries, > > not the ones currently building), > > I don't understand what you mean by broken.

Additionaly the new soname libraries were no more copied in the package by dh_movefile, which caused this problem. Ideally the package should be renamed to libgtop2.0-1 or something such, as soname/shared libs document say, and all dependent packages built against that. Now, when first building the fixed libgtop2.0-1, libgtop-2.0.so.1.0.1 was linked not against the libgtop_common-2.0.so.1 and libgtop_sysdeps-2.0.so.1 which are also in the libgtop2 package, but against the system installed libgtop_common-2.0.so.0 and libgtop_sysdeps-2.0.so.0, which naturally were no more available when i installed the fixed package, and thus it was not really fixed. A second built resulted in the fixed packages i posted, but if i upload this to unstable, i will get loads of FTBFS, which would not be nice. I could build-conflict with libgtop2-dev (<< 2.0.2-1.1) or something such, but i don't think this is a good solution. I have quickly looked at the build system, but i am very unfamiliar with libtool and the various .am/.in stuff, so i would like it a lot if someone other took over from there and provided me with a build fix. So, i have tried to contact upstrem, which as Bastien Nocera pointed out is not the one actually listed in either copyright or AUTHORS, and hope they will provide a fix to this. Also, i want to know if the soname change was warranted, or is just an error, no need in going to lengthy modification if the soname was just changed by error or misunderstanding of soname issues, i hope to get response from upstream regarding those. Anyway, the build system of libgtop2 needs to be fixed, or as Bastien suggested, libgtop2 needs to die, and a replacement need to be found, wroten, whatever.
