Package: compiz Version: latest Severity: normal Tags: patch The libmetacity0 (>= 1:2.15.21) override in shlibs.local is AFAICT not necessary. Unless I got something wrong (from changelogs and your comments) it's only there to workaround an incorrect abi bump, which is no longer an issue on sid but prevents a backport to etch.
I've verified that the current sid package has a working compiz-gtk when recompiled on etch (with other fixes unrelated to this one). -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-amd64 Locale: LANG=ca_AD.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ca_AD.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
