problem is right the change of ABI. Daniel Stenberg (the upstream developer) is available to implement a solution based on the proposal of Richard Atterer [0]. in the meanwhile new packages can be built using the gnutls variant of libcurl3. be aware that libcurl3 and libcurl3-gnutls currently cannot be installed at the same time. cheers domenico [0] http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2005-08/0118.html -----[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok --[ http://people.debian.org/~cavok/gpgkey.asc ---[ 3A0F 2F80 F79C 678A 8936 4FEE 0677 9033 A20E BC50 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
