You need to ask a DD to upload. Unfortunately, I cannot take a look at it anytime soon, hopefully Andrius/someone else gets to it soon. > Of do I have to submit this as a new software package? Yes, this will go a round trip via NEW, and FTP masters will have to accept this package. Usually this does not take very long, since this is not a package which is not in archive. Do remember to add a Breaks+Replaces on the old SONAME when the new one gets in. > Or do I simply revert the SONAME and pray no one notices the binary > difference. The last option is easiest, but of course not the best. We should never break ABI, so this last option should never be done. Nilesh
