There are two packages (gdal and qgis) that depend upon xerces21. Bugs have been filed against both (301710/301650 and 301709), and both maintainers have already responded. (qgis depends upon gdal. The qgis maintainer said he would upload as soon as gdal was uploaded. The gdal maintainer says he is preparing a new package with a few other fixes and will have it ready this week.) As soon as those two packages are updated, a removal request will be filed for xerces21 as well. This way, only xerces25 and xerces26 will be in unstable. If, by some chance, xalan 1.9 is packaged and a new version of the XML::Xerces perl module that uses 2.6.0 comes out in time, then we could remove xerces25 as well, but Steve seems okay with having xerces25 and xerces26 both in sarge as long as there aren't any additional versions. I was planning on filing the removal request myself even though I'm not actually the xerces21 maintainer (since I am maintaining the newer versions)... --Jay -- Jay Berkenbilt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
