RE: potato upgrade killed libc5
I ran an apt-get upgrade over the past weekend. That and/or an upgrade
to new 2.2.12 kernel seems to have killed all my old binaries depending

Mostly the affected files amount to cruft. There is(was) a commercial
xvscan with scanner support that died.

Hi.
I plan to package libcorba-orbit-perl and libgnome-gnorba-perl:
these modules allow to use the Orbit ORB within perl and the

liberror-perl is required by the above modules and so I'll package it
as well.
