severity 20033 grave stop I just received another bug report (#20978) on Octave not being able to run. I had already reassigned the first such report (#20033) to libstdc++2.8 which does *not* introduce versioned dependencies on its libs even though it is incompatible with the previous release. Because of the missing versioned dependency, dpkg thinks that the older (first-generation) libstdc++2.8 package satisfy the dependencies.
This is not the case --- and as libstdc++2.8_2.9.27 is in hamm, it is likely that this will break other C++ compiled packages. I strongly feel that this *must* be fixed in hamm. For the record, I also upgraded (after building Octave 2.0.11.91 earlier today) to the newest libstdc++2.8_2.90.27_0.3 which still has an insufficient shlibs file: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/dpkg/info> cat libstdc++2.8.shlibs libstdc++ 2.8 libstdc++2.8 -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] According to the latest official figures, http://rosebud.ml.org/~edd 43% of all statistics are totally worthless. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
