Except that libgnat3.15a only provides a .a, not a .so. The old libgnat-3.14p-1 _did_ provide a .so. This seems to be something which went away upstream, not a packaging problem. So I stand by wanting Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, but libgnat3.15a does not need to provide a shlibs file. Sorry for the confusion. -- "It's not Hollywood.
