(no pointers issues, and similar stuff). I'm still not confident with the patch, because I didn't have knowledge about why the API changed, and how. Seems that Tobias (who has a better knowledge than me) appreciated the quality of the patch, unfortunately nmudiff didn't know about the bug number, because it wasn't created yet (actually nmudiff created the bug). So the bug close wasn't available on the patch I sent. and since we have a transition of ~500 packages, I prefer to proactively close bugs, instead of forgetting about open RC bugs :) >speaking of DELAYED: using DELAYED/5 stresses me a *little* bit, but so >far i was always able to manage a proper upload in time, so i guess it >is not a big issue :-) you are completely right, I'm not sure about why all the rebuilds that have been performed never showed issues with this package (probably something in the toolchain was needing a rebuild before this package, so it always ended up in some dep-wait status). Anyway, thanks for checking and the upload, it is *really* appreciated. And sorry for the quick RC bugs, we are actively working in fixing unstable and this transition in a little time (98% of packages are rebuilding correctly, we had to NMU 3-4 packages on top of ~20 already schedules biNMUs) for this reason, if we can manage to quick fix the issues, the old libpng will be hopefully removed soon from the archive :) thanks for understanding, Gianfranco
