I can't really say if it will work: if some config files changed or all necessary libs are there...I reall can't say. As far as I can see, Norbert provided backports for TL 2007 for etch, so you can already upgrade. These packages are not supported by the BTS, but they may help you. For now I mark the bug as notfound in unstable so we don't have to care about it in the future. H. -- sigmentation fault -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
