Public bug reported:

Hello,

The command line options of ocamlrpcgen (from libocamlnet-ocaml-bin
package) no longer work on Gutsy (there were no issues on Feisty).

$ ocamlrpcgen -cpp none -int unboxed -hyper int64 -aux net/messages.xdr
Unknown option -cpp.
$ ocamlrpcgen -int unboxed -hyper int64 -aux net/messages.xdr
Unknown option -int.
$ ocamlrpcgen -hyper int64 -aux net/messages.xdr
Unknown option -hyper.

After a post on [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list, it seems that this is due to a 
wrongly stripped binary. OCaml binaries should *never* been stripped because 
strip removes the embedded bytecode.
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-ocaml-maint/2008/01/msg00039.html

This is confirmed by following command:
$ ocamlrpcgen net/messages.xdr
Fatal error: the file net/messages.xdr is not a bytecode executable file

Currently libocamlnet-ocaml-bin package is broken on Gutsy (and probably
others if other OCaml binaries are stripped).

Yours,
d.
