Updating gsoap always creates a bit of a mess since it means that there will be a soname bump and a need for transition binNMUs for depending packages. I agree that it is time to do an update soon, but there is a freeze at the moment, so the update would not migrate to testing anytime soon, and by the time it does it might be time to update again. Updates that bring soname bumps are discouraged during freezes. The current version in testing and unstable is 2.8.35-4. The difference between 2.8.35 and 2.8.36 is not big. If you disregard the places in the code where the version number is encoded it is only one line of code that is changed. That line is already backported to the current version in Debian: https://sources.debian.net/src/gsoap/2.8.35-4/debian/patches/gsoap-backport.patch/ So if the reason you require 2.8.36 is that change then gsoap >= 2.8.35-2 should be sufficient. Let me know. Mattias
