Simplest, but the repercussions of ignoring an arch last for a while even after the arch is no longer being ignored; it doesn't make much sense to do this when there's a fix in sight. And Goto-san has said that he plans to upload glibc 2.3.5 to unstable this weekend, so I would say that the fix is in sight. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
