About your questions why a rebuild often helps: in C++ its easy to break a public interface in a way that makes older applications that are linked to the libarary break in subtle ways. The fix is of course to change the c++ library .so name to avoid breakage. But sometimes (by accident) this is not done by the maintainer. A simple rebuild solve this kind of problem because all that is required is a relinking against the new library. -- aptitude crashes when trying to install lintian https://launchpad.net/bugs/55900 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
