Hello Benoit! Is the git/cares2 problem something PPC-specific? I can't reproduce it on my amd64 installation atleast. Can you think of something else that might make this problem appear for you? Could you do ldd /usr/bin/git to check if your binary is linked to c-ares?
Git doesn't seem to have any dependencies or build-dependencies on any c-ares version..... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ sudo aptitude purge libc-ares1 libc-ares2 Reading package lists...
