OK, I downloaded the libbcel-java source from the above site, changed the Build-Depends and Depends lines from 1.3 to 1.4 and it built and installed and Tomcat seems to run OK. Obviously whatever tests failed (where are these tests and which one failed?) does not effect tomcat. This then brings us to the next question, which is about these dependancies. Libbcel obviously does not require 1.4, does Tomcat? Tomcat 4.0.4 does work quite happily on 1.3 (at least 1.3.1). Also given the current debate about meta packages, is it right to insist on a particular package (the Sun/Blackdown one) at a particular release (1.3 or 1.4). The Tomcat package claims to require almost any of the available JREs, but also needs the 1.4 SDK, which rather instists that you have the 1.4 JRE to go with it. Can we not use Jikes or GCJ as the SDK? David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
