This is the first time I noticed the Debian version being bumped... I see a potential (general) problem with this: 4.1.2-7 might have existed in both Woody and Sarge and reflected different states of the package in each distribution. I haven't checked whether this has been the case and, given that PHP has evolved quite a bit since Woody was released, it might not have mattered much in this particular case. But if Debian manages to release more often in the future and less-frequently updated packages are treated like this, we might run into confusion. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
