This is an old version. And how could you install this on stable?
Ah, all dependencies taken from unstable/testing *sigh*.

umm. no. At least not for OOo...

And why is this an OOo bug? OOo does not need to depend on prelinking
since it does not depend on prelink and it's not OOo's job to depend on
libelfg0.

OOo just suggests prelink to do it's job and additionally ask
the question only when prelink is installed (that was a bugfix appearing
in 1.1.0-4) and it just runs prelink...

And prelink isn't even in stable, so that is a non-issue:

$ madison-lite libelfg0
  libelfg0 |    0.7.0-9 |        stable | alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, 
mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
  libelfg0 |  0.8.2-1.1 |       testing | alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, 
mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
  libelfg0 |    0.7.0-9 |      unstable | hurd-i386
  libelfg0 |  0.8.2-1.1 |      unstable | alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, 
mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

$ madison-lite prelink
   prelink | 0.0.20031029-3 |       testing | alpha, i386, powerpc, sparc
   prelink | 0.0.20031029-3 |      unstable | sparc
   prelink | 0.0.20040115-1 |      unstable | alpha, i386, powerpc

Questions?

However, _maybe_ prelink should depend on the newer version. I'll
reassign this bug to prelink. Andrés, do with it what you want...
