Hi The eclipse packaging team cannot fix Add-ons downloaded via the eclipse's own update system. If they compile their application or add-on against deprecated libraries, then there is nothing we (the eclipse team) can do about it. The best we can do to fix this issue is to (try to) package this add-on for Ubuntu. Feel free to file a "Needs packaging" (or a Request For Package) on it and subscribe/assign me to the bug; though I got several plugins to package/fix first (incl. but not limited to eclipse-cdt). Also Lucid is already partly frozen, so getting plugin into Lucid are slim to none (leaning towards none). ~Niels -- libstdc++5 removal breaks non-ubuntu applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431091 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
